Shadow

When the light fails to shine,
the darkness will creep nearer,
and, SHADOW will fall.

The LIGHT is all-powerful,
a spark can shatter the DARKNESS.
No matter how small it may be,
It will always overcome the darkness.

The light shines like a pioneer into the darkness,
into the unknown, breaking the smothering
presence as it shines forth, 
cutting like a jagged blade.

Darkness only falls when the light lets down its guard.
Shadow created by light, spawned from the darkness,
lives and dies with LIGHT.
The smaller the light, the weaker the shadow.

Thank you for being the LIGHT of my life.
Without you the Darkness would have taken me.
I will be your SHADOW until we part.

Thoughts

Restless air, restless ground.
No silence or solitude to be found.
Sounds that echo, sounds that last.
Seeking refuge and longing for the past.
Lack of companionship, lack of emotions.
A need for the warm sun and soft affections.
Bright eyes, yet impaired vision.
Need confidence to make this final decision.
Focused ambition, focused relation.
Hope that my find will exceed expectations.
Random kindness, random deeds.
Giving way to first fill other’s needs.
Living alone, living secure.
No pain, but thoughts to endure.

Stuck Inside Myself

When my eyes first met yours,
These feelings came to me.
Even though you do not see me,
Like I wish to be.

Doesn’t signify that you can’t
Help me break free.
If it is what you want,
I will try to be truly me.

You can see me,
 You cannot read my mind.
However, even though you use me,
 It does not mean I am blind.

These feelings always stay,
The pain never goes away.
I cannot take this any more,
It becomes harder every day.

I see you in myself,
It has always been the same.
Even though you do not see me,
You have always been worth the pain.

As you, watch me,
You can read my mind.
However, even though you use me,
It does not mean I am blind.

Stuck inside myself, these feelings stay the same.
You will always be worth the sorrow and the pain.
No matter how long I have to wait,
Anything from you will be a gift,
Even if it is only hate.
