1 Her World

Darkness had engulfed her world

she had not seen a light in years

locked away in her own mind

surrounded by her fears.

Dark circles deepened

underneath dull eyes of brown

she had lost all hope of freedom

and so she waits to die.

Once long ago she had a light

that warmed her to the core

it pushed away the darkness

protected her evermore.

But that light how it faded

until abandoned her it did

so now she sits in the darkness

waiting for death to take her in.

But slowly a light appears

though different from the last

it pushes away all signs of darkness

giving her release from her past.

She finds herself floating

giving in and wanting

the light engulfs her very being

and she begins to mend.

The circles disappear

from neath her eyes

the dull brown Iris's

turn to liquid bark and shine.

Her skin once pale

now a soft tan

finally the light caressed her very being

as she was held in the arms of a man.

This man he made her life complete

became her light when she's in need

she smiled more happily

more willingly and finally she realized

her life was no longer a dream.
