Conflict
Darkness fades to nothing.
Light has left this place.
Just left staring forward.
Remembered beauty.
Pictured grace.
Your smile,
Your eyes,
Your everything,
Captured memories everyone.
The angels of my heart care,
Want to keep you safe from harm.But the monsters deep inside me,
Want to make you suffer,
See you pay,
For not thinking about me once,
As I do you every day.
Yet even as I’m breaking,
Suffering,
Wounded,
Deep inside,
I’ll never let them harm you,
Kept buried in my mind.This self control is all I have,
The fight rages on.
The angels of my heart,
Against the monsters of my mind.
In this Lightless Darkless solitude,
In this fortress of my war,
I would sacrifice myself forever,
To keep my harm from your door.Don’t worry about me darling,
Don’t feel bad or shed a tear,
This war of heart and mind is mine,
You could do nothing to prevent,
I fight this internal conflict,
By my choice and mine alone,
To do otherwise would mean,
I would no longer care.
