how brilliant the light is for the beholder!
How beautiful the pain of that candle is
To those who only witness from afar,
But will never truly feel the price of such a shine.”

How shadows love to play
Tricks on eyes too willing to believe

riddled with pain and wracked with tactics

To pull the other down into a deathly embrace
in which there is no loser:
For I am beginning to believe that my loss
Is truly his, and his win is my gain.”

You have no one who will save you-
But yourself.

“It warps reality with its unseen hold:
The colors of your world are drained out,
Bled from your mind until
All you have left is an ashy, unending gray.

You are unable to see beauty any more,
It killed all that was beautiful
And left you to flounder in the ugly abandon.”
