And Then I Break

This is a poem about two siblings who represent dawn and night, and they are chasing each other around unsuccessfully.

My brother leaves me

and I break.

The burning passion bursts

through my walls,

melting the boundaries

that keep me safe

and I break.

I live but for a short time

yet every day,

I try again

and I break,

for I am Dawn.

Darkness prevails

and I fall.

The worst demons

grow strong now,

feeding off my terror

as the light drops me

and I fall.

I do the only thing

that lets me

greet my sister again

and I fall,

for I am Night.
