Light

The stifling blackness closes in

Making it murderous to breathe

The ground beneath me caves in

And I tumble into the deep

A bottomless pit of worries and troubles

Where serpents strike your skin

Where hot coals burn and rocks tumble

And death comes closing in

Where sorrow leaks from every wound

Made in your broken heart

The place where darkness is your tomb

And where all pain starts

But through this misery. I see a Light

Fulgent through my pain

Sweet redemption from eternal night

From this Light I gain

I’m wrapped in it’s warmth

Mesmerized by it’s glow

To it’s will, I will conform

From it’s arms I’ll never go

It’s showed me a reason for living

It’s showed me right from wrong

To me it’s always giving

Each day a new song

But the Light cannot stay 

And become a part of me

The Light must fade away

Because together, we can’t be

I feel it’s warmth fading

My soul returning to it’s shell

I keep on hoping, praying

I’m not returning to my hell

But the shackles of snakes clamp to my wrists

My soul is ripped apart

And I’m cast again into the abyss

Because Light cannot love the Dark.
