Darkness meanders towards me
Covering the whole of my heart
I sit patiently on the edge of starlight
Waiting to gather my scattered wishes
Dreams remain, calling me back
To the days I was complete
Before the brokenness
When darkness was only a mist
*
Random pieces of my soul, lost
Longing for repair
Shards of light, messages of truth
As daylight beckons
I find solace in the shadows
Rejection fuels the fear
I crawl deeper into the void
Wasted
*
Surely not
Reciprocity holds no value
Fishing for strength
From the shores of wisdom
I will be my rescue
Salvation is mine to award
No longer to relinquish peace
For another's rise
