Without the lights on it’s quieter, it’s colder
The darkness consumes, the light flees away scared of its shadow it leave somewhere else on the other side, only to be chased away again
Their lives are revolving around each other
Meshing into one

You’ll feel so cold when the light is gone
The dark becomes your only friend
Fair-weathered game is what your heart becomes

And does it care?
No.
It will laugh at your weakness and grin at its power.
Can you handle it?
Only time will tell.
The time it will take to find the light again.

All are born of darkness, but all seek out the light But where the light guides Is only to the dark

The dark will seek you out
The light is hard to find
The dark will swim around you
The light will slip away
You’ll always want to have it ‘til you realize the effort that is needed Only the strong stay light, but soon their light will smolder too

All light runs All darkness chases. And soon you just may have both
