Equilibrium

Light

For seconds
It clears my view
It outlines the details
It purifies the reasons
Identifies the essence

Slowly yet surely spreads
Throughout the room
And later the corridor
That leads to my mind
And soul
To vanquish the remnants of
The bad memories
The hurt
It scars it
Yet heals them completely

But where there is light
Darkness lurks not too far behind
And it tricks me into thinking
I need it
I wish it
How I lust for it

And it takes me by the hand
And steadily eases me away from light
And into the darkness

It caves in
Removes all that splendor
From the rooms
The corridor
That leads to my mind
And soul
And restores the vanquished memories
And hurt
Rips open those scars

Yet...

Where there is darkness
Light lurks not too far behind...
