do you ever lose a moment
to the ever present night?
only to realize too late
it was swallowed by the light?
i think we have it wrong
i think we’re quite confused
it’s never the dark that takes
it’s the bright lights that use
they hide behind their masks
and pretend to hold a flame
what we all new was truth
and never could quite tame
true light in the darkness
when real, is well and good
but nothing teaches better
than being lost in the abyss would
and don’t we feel all alone
in the cold light of day?
instead, a warm embrace
for which we all pray
you don’t need a crutch
you need to learn to see
when you squint against the sun
moments lost to eternity.

Very nice.
Thank you. 🖤
