Light/Dark

Black was your future
You've been abandoned
You feel you can never endure
There was no dawn
For you're bruised by past
and nothing was left
to hold on seems never an option
You're almost at the end
almost... and everything left
As easily as the last flame fades
and dark surrounds you
Tears dried for another wave
Of ocean flowing from your eyes
You feel battered by distress
When you were failed, betrayed, cheated
By someone who promised to be your everything
now has become nothing
now gone like mist, uncertain, unfelt
And you lose your ground
Begging for the light
Lost all hope to fight
And no one stands beside you
when an army draws in
you lay defenseless, alone and weak

Where is your rescue?

Here comes
not from afar, but from within
a slight faint hope still beats in
a thriving source of your fire, one last desire
to live again to avenge what supposed to be yours
and you feel someone stays even as all go
someone stays, and that is you
and never shall you plead, for this is enough
to know hope flickers in the dark, giving light
In the field of the hopeless
through the moors of doubt
into the valley of lies
and peak of shattered promises
A sacred strength rose up to hold your hands high
a humble cry made your knees steadfast to the ground
a vision of who you once were flashes across to who you wish you'll be
And you become one with the light that fights the dark
And all become one, as dark is to light, and light is to dark
Nothing matters, for now you choose to live
To die matters not, for now you begin
to see the light of darkness shining freely
and know truly in your heart like puzzle was solved
That darkness is there to strengthen the light,
that trials are there to be better while enduring all
that hurts are there to cherish the joy now renewed
that despair is there to force you to hold on to hope
that fears are there to purify your faith
that weakness is there to find our strength
that heart breaks to still love again
that emptiness is there to fill up what was lost
and know that light slashed dark in many ways
have faith that there is light upon your face
know for sure that light is always there
even if in darkness, you never care
