HELP, I'M IN LOVE WITH THE DARKNESS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY!
//
will someone please explain
how darkness can be so beautiful?
how i can be so afraid
for so very long
and then suddenly,
in an instant, in a
single brilliant gratifying moment,
the fear can fade away,
the binding chains can loosen and decay,
and all that i once found
terrifying, all that once made
me shiver and cry,
can be reborn as something
truly beautiful in my eyes?
i used to fear the night
for what i thought it could hide.
i used to fear the evil in people –
the evil in myself.
now i see the beauty in these
small darknesses, these
familiar horrors. they
are beautiful.
and still i wonder why.
