Quiet Fading Light

This void  
In my soiled soul  
Gives my obscurity  
A sharper clarity  
It’s darkness  
The weirdest of comfort  
There’s no purging these emotions  
As they flow through cold veins  
I write about love  
To lighten the mood  
Keep pushing  through
The darkening clouds
But I’m always pulled back  
This abyss  
Has always been my home
I have fought the battles  
That have kept me living  
That demon  
Never leaves me alone  
Takes bites out of me  
When the climb is treacherous  
A poisonous affliction  
It’s viciousness spreads  
An invisible cancer  
Gripping my senses  
When at my weakest  
Where in the past  
I have welcomed  
The quiet fading light
