BLACK
By andhaka
Shadows engulf me!
Make me your own
Another mirage etched in darkness
Invisible, broken, alone
Don’t let the rays of sunlight
Grasp my feeble heart
Smearing the soul with hope
Veiling the truth from the start
Let your ebony tendrils
Slice my supple skin
Let the cold blood drip
Down the devils chin
Craving your fiery touch
Burning up in your lust
Blistering from your breathe
Awiaiting the chilled kiss of death
No desire for light
Creating illusions of joy
Painting pictures with family and friends
Of forever love, with some beautiful boy
Colors will fade with age
People leave you behind
Radiant glow showed you lies
The truth will leave you blind
So save me Shadow!
Swallow me up in your dark abyss
Shield me from the fantasies attack
Because once the lights are out
Everything goes
Black.

Most people are too afraid to accept the loving embrace of darkness. It's nice to know that there are others who share my sentiments towards it. Well done.

Darkness is an important part of life...when we're in the dark without the light we are truly alone with ourselves...and in that moment we can get a glimpse into our own soul. Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the piece :)

I always found it harder to walk in the light as well. I also found more reward in difficult things, though you cant keep reward forever... beautiful write and flow.

Yeah you can't keep rewards forever just like every other thing in life. Nothing is permanent including us. Even we fade away eventually.Everything is just a giant illusion. Thank you for your comment : )
