Darkness

I am Darkness, and you called me by my name

So I ran into your light, thinking that you could truly see me.

Cautiously I bathed in it, letting the light soak in

But, when the light reached the depths of Darkness you saw the scars that lights had left before.

Overwhelmed and disgusted, you withdrew your light and chose to shine on more beautiful places.

Silently, I watched the light fade and Darkness pull me ever further into herself.
