until again

you knew

what it would and wouldn’t
be, let alone become,
long before i ever had the opportunity
to confuse it all. you knew
what would fail to move
before you set about to redefine
the benefit in attempting
to change what you knew would be
unmoved.

you knew
the realities surrounding
me, and chose to color them
in forgettable hues. you knew
where i stood, and transported
me, redefined me, and who i became
through your eyes was unrecognizable,
so i stepped away, thus becoming
........unmoved.

Darkness Falls

Lost in a realm of chaos and confusion,
Searching for lost love and hope,
Only to find demons of my past,
Fighting for my soul,


I continue on, Not giving up,
I will find the will to go on,
Fear blinds me to the truth,
Trying to see past the hate,
Only seeing anger and pain,


The thunder crashes behind me,
As I look ahead to see a small shred of light,
And laugh like a child as I stand in the light,
So different from the darkness,
Yet so much the same,
I smile as I realize that my past don’t matter,
Bad things can be forgiven,
But the future can be destroyed if you live in the past,
And the light scares away the void,
I walk from the light into the darkness,
To destroy the shadows of my past,
And to walk to my future,
My hope, I’ll go on with my life,
As I leave the darkness for the last time,
I hear a scream of agony and defeat,
I smile once again,
Knowing that if I can defeat this darkness,
That there is hope in the future…
