Have you ever held something you knew you could not keep?
Have you ever tried to hang on to something you once had?
Knowing that it was never meant to be yours all along.
But for a brief moment in history you were able to catch a light.
A light to make your darkness bearable.
You knew from the very beginning that time would take it away.
Understanding that it was never meant for you
so you do not struggle to keep it.
Sadly you let it go.
Retreating back into your darkness you wonder if the pain of losing it is worth your heart
How many Eternities must you live until you realize that the light to your darkness will only be yours for a moment.
For just as the darkness descends and consumes the light
The sun comes up and conquers the night
For in the twilight
light and dark meet
Always dancing never staying
