~The Light ✨

Every so often,
I fall into a hole
It’s dark and lovely
A haunting under control

It’s peaceful
And it’s quiet
But I easily get lost
When I’m too weak to fight it

Because sometimes I can’t see
Just feeling my way through
While at other times, my hope
Flashes the way back to you

I go searching, hoping to find
What wants to remain hidden
Sometimes I catch a glimpse
And wish to be forgiven

Often I sit and wonder
With the darkness closing in
How do I embrace what I can’t see?
And where do I even begin?

I guess that I’m doing it
Bleeding out pain for you to see
But the words that are forming,
Are the driving force guiding me

And even when I can’t find the light
Your presence, a silent knowing
You sit with me in the dark
Until the light in me is showing.
