One moment you’re there,

The next

You’re gone

Like the darkness

You smell like damp blacktop

The musty smell filling my nose.

Your personality is

A rotting piece of wood,

Maggots gnawing the inside.

Like the darkness

You showed me black.

Blooming color engulfing me.

Your skin is

Gritty, rough like sandpaper,

Scratching my skin with agony.

Like the darkness

You kept me isolated,

Like a tiger clawing at his cage.

Your mischief is

A gleam in your forest eyes,

Your voice coaxing me to come.

Like the darkness

You left me alone,

When I turned on the light.

My  freedom is

the clouds breaking, revealing

sunshine gasping from dark cloud.

Like the darkness

You showed me beauty-

Spiraling sentiments dancing.

Until you finally decided

To let

Me go.
