Poetic Freedom

 My heart falls
Into this endless chasm
Where only Shadow lives
And Light to fearful to tread

For if It does
When It leaves
Shadow spreads

Spread to where though?
Can It ascend from
The natural pits
From which they've originated?

Yes
It taints everything It touches
Destroying the once happy
And encouraging the hidden darkness
In ourselves

And once It overflows
The boundaries put before it
It does exactly that to everything

And this is where my heart falls
With it's occasional pings of light
