A cave of darkness returning to light

A cave in darkness hidden away.

Very few venture this far, none stay.

They ask me to join them, to come into the light.

It's to cold out there, to scary, not right.

The darkness holds me.

The cave doesn't want me to leave, the cave wants me to feel fear.

They come with torches, powered by batteries.

Slowly their light dies, they run out of strategies.

They leave, they all leave. Not one will stay.

I won't leave the darkness, so they go their own way.

Then suddenly a wanderer comes along.

He claims that he is lost and that he isn't strong by himself.

He is scared of the darkness, but to him it is familiar.

He takes my hand, brushes away my tears and then I don't feel so inferior.

We are equal in darkness, to live in the light he asks me not.

He knows how to live here, he won't leave me to rot.

Together we gather sticks

We build a pit and he loves me tender

A flame emits, our lights in the darkness

His eyes stare into mine, together we are a beautiful mess

The darkness is lonely when you are on your own.

But together we learn to live there, we will never leave each other alone.

A flame in the darkness, shut off from the rest.

With him I can survive, no need to pass anyone's test

Two lonely people, destined to find one another

My friend. My companion. My lover.

Many days and nights you wondered through the forest.

Searching for someone

You didn't give in, you knew I was out there.

Then you stumbled into my cave and found something so rare.

A love uncommon between two people

A love that in darkness is equal.

You don't ask me much, you don't force me into the light.

And I know that even in this dark cave we will fight.

But with you by my side we can conquer great things.

Without you by my side I am nothing, you are my wings.

My light in my darkness, the rock holding me down,

you would pull me to the surface if I started to drown.

You don't want to fix me, you think I am perfect as I am

You understand me and so together we will build our own world and learn how to live together.

Even when the light starts to burn out, you will always sure that I always see a spark

I love and adore you, you mean everything to me.

When I was lost and alone, you helped me to see

I know you will remain with me until the end

For you are my one true love, the companion of my life.

There's a real subtlety about love in this, a simple knowing that creates powerful connections/emotion.

The last four lines fill you up the most beautiful way.

I love that you chose to use the word 'adore' it communicates so much!
Loved it

Thank you very much

A very interesting concept, something very unique... It seems to me that the person is in darkness and she tries get out from there with the ones who held light for her but they soon give up and leave her in the dark alone... Then a person unknowingly enters into her place, he is in darkness himself so he knows how it feels, he takes her hand and completes her with his love... There is an innocent feeling of love in the poem, the speaker's words suggests that she has found light of hope in dark cave by his love and companionship.... Very well done... Full ratings....

Thank you very much and yes she was alone in her dark place and people just gave up on her until he came along and they landed up saving each other. Thank you very much for your wonderful review :)

You are wholeheartedly welcomed my frnd... Yes I think they are meant to be with each other, to be each other's when the whole world left them in the dark...

[Angelique]

I agree...it takes someone very special to get a person out of that dark place

[Inject Positivity]

And it is hard to find such people in many of our lives... But if we keep believing without giving up, that person will show up, but again it is hard to stay in dark without any hope...

[Angelique]

that is very true and that is why we must never give up as hope is all we have

[Inject Positivity]

Absolutely, every little thing in this world is done by hope.... Without hope nothing exists in our life....

[Angelique]

exactly :)
