Ignite the dark
I watch her dark illumination
Spill across the black seas.
She says to me, with tears
Glistening in her star-filled eyes
"How do I escape the pain?"
I tell her, with hope resonating
Inside my heart,
"Darling, your pain has a purpose.
Hold my hand, and I'll lead you
To the infinity that your soul
Has been searching for.
You're not alone."
And at that moment,
When she was on the
Brink of nothingness, we
Looked at each other's hearts
And made a promise to
The hopeful air that we breathe.
We promised each other
That we will borrow the
Moon's light, ignite our bones
And set the monsters inside
Our heads on fire.
Together, we will be one
With the stars, and some day...
Some day... we won't ever know
What the darkness looks like
Anymore.
