Mar 2014
It was in a dream of mine
That maybe your light could outshine
This aching darkness of mine
(I longed to be just fine)
That your presence could illuminate
The deepest parts of my being,
But any peace of mind
And any hopes to be fine
Are sitting on top of my
Reflection in a line, ready
To fight my demons

I've gotten a sense that my
Darkness can't be outshined, so I
Try my best to hide in the shadow
You made just for me; I'm incomplete,
And I know it; I'm close to the
Edge...and now I'm falling. It won't
Be long before I hit rock bottom.
I will soon be long forgotten,
Because all that I am is
Your shadow on the wall, waiting
For wherever this fall takes me.
I've already lost it all

I will never find the one who can
Outshine my darkness, because I
Am a shadow on the wall; I
Am darkness in the abyss that
You made. If you outshined my
Darkness there would be nothing left
To see

You couldn't outshine my darkness
Because all I am is the darkness
Made by your light, so I struggle
For everything I think I'm worth,
Which isn't very much, for a
Fight that can't be won

Don't tell me you're sorry, because
Your June smile and starry eyes are
The sun, and I am stuck on the
Dark side of the moon; you did this,
And it's none of your business what
I've become

I used to be on the dark side of the
Moon, someone living in the depths
Of a reflection of your light,
Pulling the tide, but I've come to
Be the dark side of something even
Darker. I've gone to a place where there
Is no need for light, because, since your
June smile reached a mile into my
Aching chest, you had the power to
Ruin me, and I can't live in the
Shadow of the reflection of where
Your light should- and used to - be,
Because,without your starry eyes,
All I see are lies, and the world
Is a darker place without you; I hope
You're miserable, too, for leaving me
To wallow in a place where I
Never again will see your face,
In a place where there is no light,
Because I can't bare the sight of
Any light that doesn't come from
You ( I'll see you soon ).
