I have a friend who
Shines brighter
Loves stronger
Dreams bigger
Than most.
But this blinding star
Suffocates her radiance
Refuses to let the candle eat itself away
And she dwells in the comfort of midnight
The brighest eclipse
Because the truth is
She’s saving her beauty
To give to one who is the color of sky right before dawn
She gravitates toward shadows
And lights up only for the darkness
Now she has found her counterpart
He illuminates her world
Unveils her hidden spark
And uses it to ignite an inferno
But he battles a legion of demons
Trapped in a deadly war against himself
Only he can awaken her
His vibrant smile erasing her mask of smoke
And only she can save him
The blaze in her eyes conquering the monsters that creep in the corners of his mind
Some may think it’s sad
That they only burn together
When no one else is around to see
And others say it’s dangerous
That their intense blend of passion and pain could destroy the universe
But I think it is perfect
For their love has captured
The elegance of charcoal
And the purity of ivory
On a single canvas
So I guess it’s true
That night is the one true love of day
Too much darkness can be deadly
But too much light can burn you away
