Lights Off

by BrokenGentleman

To flip on the switch is to let light take control Unseen becomes seen, I'll explore her black hole. The current will flow, the lightbulb a-glow, Shadows remain behind objects below. Yet even in darkness, she shines from within I finger her switch to make her head spin. Do shadows appear, when the room is pitch black? She's tasted the darkness, and will never go back. Light uses power, while darkness does not, An obvious statement, or just food for thought? Remove both my eyes, call me amputee, I'll never need light for me to see. Because even in darkness her beauty is there Turn off the light. I'll still fucking stare.

I told a girl , "everything feels better in the dark" she got offended and thought that was my clever way of saying "you look better in the dark"
