Darkness

Forget about the light. We have all
Seen the light. Show me the darkness
And the secrets that you keep close
To your heart. I will show you mine too.
You are never alone in this fight to
Keep the darkness at bay. Throw me
Into the abyss with you and I will show
You that you are not the only one falling.
I am right there with you as we tumble
And try to find our bearings. The struggle
Is never yours alone. Show me your scars
And demons. You are not the only one who
Has them. Your fears are mine too.
Do not think that I do not know what it is
Like to be afraid. I am afraid of being alone
Just like you. Together we can come out
Of this, not only with our hands linked
Together, but our hearts and bodies
Connected, so do not be afraid to show me
All the pain. I am not afraid of the darkness
You are showing me. I have a dark side too.
