The Darkness in My Soul

I couldn't let go of you

I had a distorted view

That you had to be there for me

Regardless of your own needs

I kept you in a box

No keys to the lock

Letting no one see

Your lovely beauty

You were the only one that I loved

I knew that I vowed up above

To keep you in my heart

That was broken apart

I have to let in the light

It is only right

So other people can see

How amazing you are to me

Coming to the realization that you were holding this entity out of the light from others to receive glory from and most importantly give unto, is a profound step in your emotional integrity, Ms. Kyam.

I loved that you shared this realization, with us.

Stunning, the idea of wanting to keep something so beautiful and precious as close to you as possible but knowing it's wrong is a powerful one and so well expressed here, Excellent XxXx

the light still shines in - we just have to lift the shade. no one or no thing can ever steal the light we hold onto in our hearts. Keep letting your light shine and the light of those you love can shine through too.
