Abigail Hauschild - Light Is The Villain

There's always been darkness
And light trying to cast it out

I carry my darkness like a teddy bear
I clutch it closely when the morning light breaks through

I hold my darkness fondly
Hiding it away as if to protect it from the light

I didn't even notice
as it seeped through my skin
Swallowing me whole

Until the darkness and I
are one and the same

Please don't let your light shatter me\n\nAbigail Hauschild
