The Darkness Abates

 

A pressure building

Too long searching

For clearness to my vision

And the answer to my dark horizon

For too long

I've rested on others

And now that they're gone

I'm losing ground to stand

I've seen those days ahead

Where I'm crying alone

And I've seen those days ahead

Where the pain inside me has grown

And they're closing in

But something keeps me going

A resonance of hope

Keeps me moving

It shines brightly in my depths

Piercing the blackness of my heart's core

I've seen those days ahead

Where the skies get brighter

And I've seen those days ahead

Where my heart feels lighter

I've seen those days ahead

Where the darkness turns back to night

And I’ve seen those days ahead

When I can give up the fight

And I've seen those days ahead

But they're at the edge of my sight.

Wow, I love the euphoria in this write. It sure did get my seat hot! I think the first stanza about "A pressure building" and the whole "answer to my dark horizon" verse was just beautifully placed in this write. The rhyming scheme was just a tad bit off. But I actually liked how it would rhyme on one line and not exactly on the other. It made (for me) a picture, so that I may see the person who is revolved around this sorrow. Flawless job, I really did enjoy reading this piece!
