I Treat Darkness As A Friend

I used to run and fear my end;

but now I treat the darkness as my friend. 

Don't you know, there's beauty in a lie;

Spoken like a bittersweet goodbye?

You left me alone, though I accepted you. 

Humans, that which I loved-

accepted me not, just let me to rot. 

So unknowingly my heart became tainted, 

dyed dark- as black as the night. 

Don't you know?

It was you who made me so! 

Can't you see? 

This is me of the now, of the present!

The ugly tainted me that was overrun 

by the darkness of the humans that which I loved.

 

Am I capable of love? 

I no longer feel what a child feels for a parent-

what a friend feels for a friend.

I just take days as they go by-

the bitter taste, I swallow up the lies. 

Can't you see? 

You made me this way! 

You shunned me, you hurt me! 

I became weak!

No matter what, I tried-

tried to become stronger!

But you just shot me down,

not bothering to see me for me.

This is what I really feel!

No longer that innocent one that 

you took so much pleasure in hurting.

Look what I have become!

Even I hate what I have become.

I try to change. 

For you, for me-

but now my eyes just see

the dark side of humans.

I can no longer love-

live like a human.

I used to run and fear my end-

but now I treat darkness as a friend.
