Feb 2016
The darkness,
It started out as a small drop,
In the center of my chest,
And like a *cancer,
It spread throughout my whole body.
It swam in my veins,
Coated my lungs,
And swallowed me whole.
It seeped through my skin,
And began to form around me,
A black cloud, I've become a shadow.
This darkness feels like it's all I've ever known,
I don't know who...what I am anymore,
But sometimes...something magical happens.
Him.
He's danced with my shadows,
And blown away the clouds,
And I slowly feel this darkness peeling away.
The day he told me he loved me,
I swear it was like he beamed a *flashlight,
Right at my heart.
*I think he knows how to turn the lights on.

I hope he doesn't turn them back off.
I'm trying to get better.
I'm trying to get better.
