True Darkness

This girl who visions so truly
This friend I'd call my own
She holds the light to her dreams
Her path, so brightly shown

She's stumbled through the mountains
And swam through the deepest sea
She had so much to discover
And still had time for me

She's a riot in the darkness
Her smile makes all bright
Through all the storms she's traveled
She's pushed on with all her might

A tear rolls down her cheek
As she follows through her pain
For all the bull she's dealt with
She wonders if she's sane

We seem to share our visions
That linger through our head
We wonder, is it worth it?
Or are we better off dead?

This question is so often
Throughout everyone's heart
We wonder, 'Could this world take it?
If we were to be apart?'

Though the answer seems so simple
With such a tiny blade
But the world would kill us all
If that's how it were made

This path seems only dimmer
The challenge to see the way
And every step is darker
Than the one, just yesterday

The tears are held in deeply
We beg to stand it through
I'm willing to take life on
But only if it's with you

    I absolutely loved this! Honestly, I thought it was going to be about sadness and parting and lost love, oh my, i wasn't sure if
    "?;/ (whoops! sorry, my dog decided to type a bit)
    I wasn't sure if it wasn't going to end in a hopeful manner and I so wanted it to.
    Thanks for entering, my dear.
