I’ll never got forget that day

I will never forget that night

I fell through a trapdoor of anger and sadness

As a child I couldn’t begin to understand

I couldn’t begin to understand this door that I fell through. The endless darkness that seemed to encompass every path that I walked down

Paths that reeked with fear and had walkways that were ablaze and were scorching to the touch.

But then you came

Came to say that you were just the same. And said you could lead me out of this fatal hell smelling trapdoor.

Your shadow that you casted was long, rigid and somehow darker than the blackest of nights. Almost as if not mortal.

You then stuck out your hand and I with a little unease grabbed it. A hand that oddly enough was sweltering to the touch yet didn’t burn.

We then walked in silence and as we were walking, there were no more flames. There finally was no more pain.

Light finally started to peak it’s way through, I’d almost forgotten what it had looked like. I wondered how I didn’t see this path before? How did I not see this easy escape.

Relief came over me as I finally walked through to the light. Man was it bright.

I then remember looking up at you and seeing your mark. A mark that will forever stain me. Walking away I then stopped you to thank you for what you had done.

You simply gave me a nod and told me that I would never have to thank you. But after all these years, I’ll never be able to repay you for what you had done.

Without hesitation you then stepped back into the endless trapdoor, Fooling even the most darkest of places.

For only those who truly see you in the light, know who you are. You are not a demon nor more than a man. You are a Dark Knight.
