Lights



Tonight then, you remarked that it was dark
And I whisper that light can’t see itself
To let you know that we are near, close by
our knowledge then it should bring us the wealth

desired no physical thing, shine within
time skry's these black mirrors on the daily
it's always darkest right before the dawn
wrestle in these binds dreams of being free

She couldn't hear me, she was lost in her head
Don't let that be your fate, for in the end
We seek love everywhere, never find it
No time to remind love while we pretend

Those times when you feel alone in the dark
consider then, you're the only light

About this poem

Just a random poem about people. I didn't do a rhyme on final couplet cause I thought the contrast was enough without the rhyme this time feel free to tell me it didn't work. thanks for reading
