It was in a dream of mine That maybe your light could outshine This aching darkness of mine (I longed to be just fine) That your presence could illuminate The deepest parts of my being, But any peace of mind And any hopes to be fine Are sitting on top of my Reflection in a line, ready To fight my demons I've gotten a sense that my Darkness can't be outshined, so I Try my best to hide in the shadow You made just for me; I'm incomplete, And I know it; I'm close to the Edge...and now I'm falling. It won't Be long before I hit rock bottom. I will soon be long forgotten, Because all that I am is Your shadow on the wall, waiting For wherever this fall takes me. I've already lost it all I will never find the one who can Outshine my darkness, because I Am a shadow on the wall; I Am darkness in the abyss that You made. If you outshined my Darkness there would be nothing left To see You couldn't outshine my darkness Because all I am is the darkness Made by your light, so I struggle For everything I think I'm worth, Which isn't very much, for a Fight that can't be won Don't tell me you're sorry, because Your June smile and starry eyes are The sun, and I am stuck on the Dark side of the moon; you did this, And it's none of your business what I've become I used to be on the dark side of the Moon, someone living in the depths Of a reflection of your light, Pulling the tide, but I've come to Be the dark side of something even Darker. I've gone to a place where there Is no need for light, because, since your June smile reached a mile into my Aching chest, you had the power to Ruin me, and I can't live in the Shadow of the reflection of where Your light should- and used to - be, Because,without your starry eyes, All I see are lies, and the world Is a darker place without you; I hope You're miserable, too, for leaving me To wallow in a place where I Never again will see your face, In a place where there is no light, Because I can't bare the sight of Any light that doesn't come from You ( I'll see you soon ).

You Were my Light
It was in a dream of mine That maybe your light could outshine This aching darkness of mine (I longed to be just fine) That your presence could illuminate The deepest parts of my being, But any peace of mind And any hopes to be fine Are sitting on top of my Reflection in a line, ready To fight my demons I've gotten a sense that my Darkness can't be outshined, so I Try my best to hide in the shadow You made just for me; I'm incomplete, And I know it; I'm close to the Edge...and now I'm falling. It won't Be long before I hit rock bottom. I will soon be long forgotten, Because all that I am is Your shadow on the wall, waiting For wherever this fall takes me. I've already lost it all I will never find the one who can Outshine my darkness, because I Am a shadow on the wall; I Am darkness in the abyss that You made. If you outshined my Darkness there would be nothing left To see You couldn't outshine my darkness Because all I am is the darkness Made by your light, so I struggle For everything I think I'm worth, Which isn't very much, for a Fight that can't be won Don't tell me you're sorry, because Your June smile and starry eyes are The sun, and I am stuck on the Dark side of the moon; you did this, And it's none of your business what I've become I used to be on the dark side of the Moon, someone living in the depths Of a reflection of your light, Pulling the tide, but I've come to Be the dark side of something even Darker.
