Two Perspectives: In Darkness & In Lightfeatured

I sit here in the distance lost so deep in thought,
I could confess a thousand things – but I rather think I’d not.
Instead I’d rather sit alone and so very unaware,
That to break the silence of the soul, is not something that I’d dare.
I’ve lost the light I’ve kept way down deep inside,
Because the man who owns the universe was once my lifelong guide.
Withering is not a choice, I thought I’d ever make,
But to give into his power, it is me I would forsake.

It’s amazing who will take us, farther than we’ve known,
That to see the gates of reason is never properly shown.
Lyrically, I’d imagine a tune so deep, dark, and intense,
As he lurks upon his victim and the fear that I now sense. 
My throat is getting tighter and it’s getting hard to breathe,
To wait a moment more it is death I would conceive.
I get up from my chair to quickly steal a glance,
To leave this house of horror is my only fighting chance.

Can he hear my heart as it pounds straight through my chest?
I feel like I’m in a maze and getting out is my only quest.
Quietly I escape out of the room I just was in,
And uneasily I feel a set of hands caress my gentle skin.
It is anguish that pulsates throughout my body’s core,
And before I know what’s happened, I’m pinned against the floor.

“Oh my dear, where is it that you think that you will go?
Without my ever presence, the daylight you shall not know.
I told you once before that when you gave up what you had,
It was expected out of you, to eternally be sad.
Giving up your shining light was the price left to be paid,
And now you will be punished for the rules you have disobeyed.”

Tears begin to stream as I clutch close to my chest,
And I know within my heart that my words will say it best.
“Who are you to take away my one and only gift,
Through the layers of my mind it is now anger that I sift.
How dare you bestow upon me the curse among the few,
Who could look into the eyes and love the likes of you!
Remember who had fallen not so long before,
An angel stood there standing to pick you off the floor.

Wings of heavenly divine enwrapped you with their grace,
It was me who stood there standing to look upon your face.
The heart of a wounded hero left broken, bare, and torn,
And now the pieces of our ruin lay in pity and forlorn.
Do not look down upon me with authority in your right,
For the love that once was given I know still lingers in your sight.”

Snickering in laughter as his grin grows ear to ear,
The nature of the beast is never silent nor sincere.
His baited breath awaits this moment when he gets to speak,
To wrath in disapproval has proven me rather weak.

“Where has gone the keeper of the guarded gate?
Your actions of adolescence has now but sealed our fate!
Child, who do you think has built the interior walls within?
For it was me that helped you find the truth and solace from your sins.
And now this is how you repay me – with a bow as you take your leave?
You think this is all I have without a trick up in my sleeve.

I imagine you have forgotten just how pervasive I can be,
A mere example of yourself and all the things that you cannot see.
I stood there once as a man waiting for the bitter truth,
I wasted years of precious searching in foolishness and youth.
And when I thought I found a match of which to pair my heart,
The void left from the destruction left it a bloody mess of art.

Shattered from the chaos of the twisted soul I knew,
I lingered here in silence as my will won’t be subdued!
For you and I are of each other – a maniacal sort of pair.
An angel and a demon – OH WHAT A LOVE AFFAIR!”

His words ring rather loudly reverberating in my mind,
There’s a level of dissonance here, rather unruly and unrefined.
Bound by simple truths as his words cut like a knife,
Upon the balance of my soul and on a thread, it hangs my life.
The room around me crumbles as I lay upon the floor,
It’s time to face the music; the reality of what’s in store.

How long can this go on, tethered to this tangled mess?
It is not what I had planned, I’m not ready to confess!
The chaos of what I know that has spanned the length of time,
Shackled by these chains I admit I’ve done the crime.
All too well I’ve known this transitional darkened tale,
It was because the masked charade unto his power I befell.
Because I will never know what it’s like left to be free,
For together and apart the two of us are me.

In what we each encounter in the embodiment sense of soul,
There is a darkness and a light, and each one takes its toll.
The heart will always guide you to which road that it will take,
A choice left unto you alone, humanity would not forsake.
As you weigh your choices upon the balance beam,
Remember that altruism is never quite what it seems.  

These demons they do battle, and come from way afar,
Do not fear the road you take and let it leave a scar.
Salvation seems to find us even when we’re lost,
Its not a price to high or low, it’s exactly what it would cost.
Protect these words of wisdom and know that this is true,
That the story in which you choose to write, lies entirely up to you.

With Light & Love ♥
