Slight modification of a poem entered into a contest. Let me know what you think.
No, it can’t be true, it can’t be.
I know that I am light, not he.
Yet we are linked, linked by a
common bond, tied to one – destiny.
I feel the shadows lightly touching,
I feel the pain, reaching from his being.
Dark thoughts, dark light, dark night,
what is he feeling, what is he seeing.
He is Dying!
I must do it, I must sacrifice.
I’ll take it all – before he dies.
Darkness, take me. Leave my brother be.
A cold chill and a hint of dark.
I am afraid.
My soul is darkening, my vision fades
my light is going, my spirit wanes,
Darkness eating my soul, the pain.
The cold, the void, the feeling
of the burning star – piercing the night
The blackness rises, the darkness sends me reeling,
My brother – my brother, you are now
The light.
It’s definitely not as good as it could be…but it’s tolerable. *shrugs*
Update forthcoming.
