Darkness

When the stars die
In darkest night
The end is nigh
I give up the fight

But somewhere inside
A flicker gleams,
Is that hope,
The deadliest dream?

As darkness surrounds
I cling to the light,
Until it, too, is slain
By the deadening night

So up I stand
Armed with my hate,
Defended by my emotionless soul,
To deny the darkness, and survive

Through the darkness I emerge
My weapon dull,
My shield broken,
I collapse on the other side

This is a side
Filled with warmth,
Light shining,
And people loving

And so, again I stand,
But this time
I stand differently,
Changed.

I stand here,
Disarmed by love,
A stronger person for having learned

Love is a lie
Fate is yours to make
Death is not the end
And life is ours,
So why wait?

    this is incredibly darling. tho sad and has the hint of a darkness, it is a representation of the fight. the fight for life, the fight for love. the fight for the will to fight and keep fighting.

    tell your friend it's wonderful.

    send him my best wishes. good luck
