Dark Heart

Looking up to the night sky. I see millions flicker. Burning bright, among them one without equal. Standing here alone surround by the dark. It makes me wonder, if i reach, could i touch you. Truly i will burn, long before, i reach your heart. For darkness can't survive your nuclear fire. Only this small comfort; the darkness that divides us, surrounds and binds us. You can't see, what i see you have no contrast. But in that fraction, of space where light, touches darkness there, i feel you. You can't feel, what i feel as your heart, is never touched. Only i have twisted, melted skin burnt into, my dark heart.

A very powerful piece, full of wonderful imagery and emotional longing for what can never be.

"You can't see what I see
you have no contrast.
But in that fraction, of space
where light, touches darkness
there, I feel you."

Oh wow! I really like this! I like your word selection and the way you put it together. I like the way it makes one think, in my opinion you did very very well here with this. Awesome! "You can't see, what i see you have no contrast. But in that fraction, of space where light, touches darkness there, i feel you."
