Lacks the eloquence of many on VTK, but its a start…
Darkness
For a number of days, I lived in the Light.
But now, dare I say it?
The Darkness is returning.
Why? Why does this Darkness reside inside of me?
Is it coming back because of you?
Or is it because of me that it returns?
Is the awakening of this Darkness anyone’s fault at all?
It is returning to me, quickly now.
The dormant Monster is awakening inside me,
Feeding off my heartbreak and tears
My anger and my fears.
For the longest time in my life, if you call this a life,
I was happy. Truly happy.
Now something is forcing down that Light.
I know what it is.
It is the Monster, the Darkness inside me
Feeding on my soul.
All the Light is being pulled from me,
Drowned in the Darkness, so that the Light is Light no more.
Once again, everything is disappearing,
Sweeping away on the rushing rivers that are my tears,
Falling through the pieces of my broken dreams.
There is nothing left now. I am alone.
For the longest time, I lived in Light.
Now, I live in a world of gray,
Not quite Dark, but no longer Light.
What is there for me to do?
I am merely a broken soul,
Living in a world of broken dreams.
Everything is fading, faster now,
Into the Darkness that overwhelms me.
This Darkness is devouring me, overtaking me,
Much like a wave swallows driftwood.
Everything is leaving now. Everything is fading
Into the Darkness that I have become.
It is too late. There is no help now.
It has returned, this monster.
I feel it devouring my soul.
It is back with me, inside me,
This Monster. This Darkness.
