A Single Ray of Light

The night is darkest just before the dawn...

In my tainted soul there is a single ray of light.

It shines and shimmers within, piercing the darkness of the night

Combating black, it awakens my hopes and dreams

The monsters of my abyss have finally ceased their screams.

 

The light draws me in, it warms my soul

I want it to fill me, and make me whole

But I know that if I try to widen the hole it may collapse and die

Do I learn to live in darkness, or do I try?

 

As it calls, it mocks - threatening to leave

Is it here to comfort me, or here to decieve?

The darkness has enveloped me for far too long

I beg the light to stay, whether it's right or wrong

 

Calling, kissing, touching feeling

This is what I know I'm needing

Condemning, betraying, lying, jeering

This is what my heart is fearing.

 

The glow, so bright and beautiful

Reminds me of the world I once knew

Is it a false hope, or the true way?

I'll never find out if I choose to stay

 

So I take the chance and embrace the light

I just want to bask in it, even if it's a blight.

If it's here by morning, I'll be alright

But if it leaves, I'll embrace the night.

Good job Ryan.
