5 minute poetry

[Nikose Tyris]

The dark was all i had,
the dark that consumed it all.
the dark that wounds,
the dark that bleeds,
the dark that cuts the soul.

the dark i turned away from,
the dark my face broke free from,
the dark that i left behind,
the dark that gripped my path,
the dark that the face blew away.

the dark was receded by the light,
the dark was torn away.
the dark was broken
the dark was shattered,
The dark was left behind.

The dark one a blow
the dark hit me to the core
the dark dragged me back,
the dark took me screaming and crying,
the dark stole me back from the light.

The dark receded,
the dark was stalled,
the dark released it's hold.
the dark was chased back
the dark watched me cry in your arms.

The dark watches me stand,
the dark no longer has claim
the dark sees me turn away,
the dark sees me walk
the dark no longer sees me at all.
