The Dark Dream

The dark heightened dream
Of falling into shadow
Falling into the oblivion
Falling into the powerful force of love
And from that force ,
The object of your affection pushes you away
Despair.

The bright dream of finding love
The newness , the adventure
Finding joy , laughter
A world with thoughts besides those
Of the object of your affection
Joy.

My dark dream began with a lie
It developed into a game
In which i willingly played
And lost -
But all is not lost
For in all darkness , light must pass
Awake to the light of the morn
