anger and rage
sorrow and pain
the warmth of love
i often think of

darkness and death
the weight on my chest
the beat of my heart
encased in the dark

the sun and the moon
the clouds that ensue
the chill in the air
the cold of despair

across my eyes i see in black and white
but in my mind i think in a prism of light
in my heart i feel love for this life
but in the dark im scared of my mind

during the day i love the sun on my face
but in through the night things go awry

the shadows i see cast from the sun
are very different than the other ones

they play in the streets the sidwalks and trees
unlike the others that like to play in my dreams

im dragged from the dark back into the light
from the warmth of the sun to the chill of the night
from the shadows i see that play in the streets
to the shadows that taunt and dance in my dreams

back from the night i escape to the day
secure in the the light from the demons that play
knowing that i must return from the sun
to face in the dark the demons that come

the cold of despair
the chill in the air
the clouds that ensue
the sun and the moon

encased in the dark
the beat of my heart
the weight on my chest
darkness and death

i often think of
the warmth of love
the sorrow and pain
the anger and rage
