A Bit of Silence in the Shadows

Some live in the Light

Others live in the Dark

The darkness, where my heart can rest eternally at ease

The darkness, calling me into a world of mystery

This darkness, burying into my blood

I cannot accept anything but the darkness

The shadows that creep up to me

Takning me down into the darkness

Welcoming me into the Silence

...

 

You, my love, are beside me

Not for a long time

You stay for a short while

Only because I cannot live in the Light

I tell you of the dakness

I take your hand

I am your shadow, Creeping up on you

Forcing you down into the darkness

Welcoming you into the Silence

....

 

I am nothing but a Shadow apart of the Darkness

The one darkness that all shadows gather to create

The immense darkness

I, lusting to leave the Light

For if enough Shadows form to create the immense darkness

These small shadows can become a great impact on the world

The world can be coated in darkness

And the Shadows will take over

Encasing the world into the darkness

Welcoming the world into the Silence

...

 

And if only one shadow exists

If only one piece of the darkness exists

That shadow can one day take over the complete darkness

Only because the shadow is small

Does not mean that there isn't

A Bit of Silence in the Shadows

...

Interesting poem. It needs a read through, out loud perhaps, to catch some of the type-o's. It has a nice rhythm, and a rather ominous story.

"I am your shadow, Creeping up on you
Forcing you down into the darkness
Welcoming you into the Silence"
-my favorite part here. I love the picture you paint with this section of verse.
