She is the light within my darkness,
But I am the darkness within her light.

When I am surrounded by darkness,
When all I can feel is the cold wind of the void,
When everything has abandoned me,
When their eyes judge me,
When their voices curse,
When their existence denies me…

I am alone, I am without a reason
...I am nothing.
I need someone
...to take my darkness.

When I was walking in the darkness,
I came upon a girl walking on the line
Between Light and Dark,
While I was running from my demons,
She was dancing with her demons.
She wasn’t afraid, just alone.
She wanted someone else to play with.

Since the day we met,
My demons have been calling her name
More often than mine.
And my darkness took on a different shade.
I could breath easier,
I could see clearer,
I could speak louder,
I could run further,
I could fight harder.

But she got colder, her touch void of heat.
She ran slower, her feet void of movement.
She smiled less, her lips void of color.
She cried more, her eyes void of miracles
And we switched sides, she started walking in the darkness.
And her heart hardly had a beat.
She barely kept breathing, moving.
While I walked on the line
Between Light and Dark.
