The dark isn't all so bad
It will free you
In lightness there lies
Wretched daggers of light
Stabbing your eyes
If only light itself were porous
Soaked with the blood of our kin,
It would be
And dripping with desire
Which glints like diamond's fire
But touch it and it will burn
Burn you like the embers wrought
Across Poe's own chamber floor
And pushed into a darkness
Light
A darkness unlike the darkness here
The sheltering, nurturing cool swirls
Of navy beauty
Rest assured here,
that nothing can harm you

The dark isn't all so bad
It will free you
In lightness there lies
Wretched daggers of light
Stabbing your eyes
If only light itself were porous
Soaked with the blood of our kin,

And dripping with desire
Which glints like diamond's fire
But touch it and it will burn
Burn you like the embers wrought
Across Poe's own chamber floor
And pushed into a darkness
Light
A darkness unlike the darkness here
The sheltering, nurturing cool swirls
Of navy beauty
Rest assured here,
that nothing can harm you
