Darkness Into Light

Dear Darkest Days,

You've shadowed me for many years,

You've drowned me in my deepest fears,

You locked away my happy thoughts,

Pain and trauma are all you brought.

A sad little puppet is all I became,

When you took control, I was never the same,

You ripped out my soul and cut off my wings,

My smile grew rare since you played my strings.

The sun became hidden by all of your dread,

Even still shining, my life was still dead,

No purpose, it seemed, as I cried in my bed,

The thoughts that you fed me still stuck in my head.

There was no escape till I prayed to the moon,

I wished for my saviour to rescue me soon,

Then suddenly he came, and with him, a light,

That cast out your darkness, my future now bright,

The hurt had soon vanished; he cut down your cords,

That held us together as you called me towards

The comfort of sadness you painted in warmth,

You have no more power from this day forth.

As I looked in his eyes, he held out his hand,

And with him a moment, not far from the sand,

He gave me his heart; I gave him a chance,

To prove that this world is more than a trance,

I placed all my trust in his love from the start,

Here he has saved me and mended my heart.

Sincerely,

The one who got away.
