Darkness

Darkness...
Hovering slightly on the edge
Pulling gently at my mind
Silently, as Death

Light, how it hurts
The brightness nearly blinding
Woe, to me, to those who
Have never felt that sweet light

The dark and the Light
Forever at war with each other
Coexisting, like two sides of a coin
Driving me to insanity

What side do I choose?
What side will win my heart?
Or what's left of it
Tell me...

I sit there in the Dark
Helpless as a newborn
Waiting for the light to embrace me
Waiting with a held breathe

Silently, it creeps through my mind
Still at war, pulling me in half
Tearing me to ach side
Hurting me in the process

What am I to do?
Do I live life as much as I can?
When will the war stop?
Is it when I disappear?

Is it when I finally die and there are no choices left?
