[Darkness;]

The partial or total absence of light. A state of mind where one loses themselves as fear, sorrow, anger, and a gloomy haze blinds their senses. A point in time where a creature, such as the human being, with a once magical beating heart, stops.

This creature who was once so bright with color, that is now a boring, monochromatic... thing.

Losing its color, its hope, its faith, its happiness, its will.

Lost in a train of thought that only consumes them from the inside out as a poison spreads throughout its body, as the poor, once living soul inside of it, dies a slow and painful death.

The heart, crying, wailing, weeping, mourning... yearning, for the happiness to run back through it and into that poor creatures veins.

The pain never stops, it won't go away, for it is stubborn. Just like the tears that once blurred its vision and blinded that creature, threatening to fall, yet it could not.

No matter how stubborn the tears were, it could not withstand or escape the force of gravity as it pulled the tears down the creatures face. Soon enough, from a mere whimper, to the worst breakdown the poor creature could ever experience.

Then, everything froze.

It was as if the moon heard its cries for help and felt the pain seeping through the creatures heart. That moon, took the shape of a voice? A voice that took all of ones stress away? A voice that took all of ones sorrow, misery, grief, moroseness and torment away with only a few seconds upon hearing it.

No... it was a boy. A man so to speak. Yet, the moonlight was shining so brightly behind him, that it was hard to see him.

But as the creatures eyes laid onto his, it's heart melted. She melted.

His eyes resembled that of a doe, or even a beautiful white rabbit, with the biggest sparkly eyes, so innocent and sweet, just as honeyed as the voice that belonged to that said boy.

A smile that took her into another world, and erased all memories that pained her.

As she took his hand after he helped her up, she only got more lost within his eyes. It was as if the galaxy itself were to be embedded within them. Closing her eyes as he wiped her tears, that voice was heard yet again... all of the darkness that surrounded her, feasted on her, just disappeared within a blink of an eye.

She was smiling again, it was hard to believe, but she was!

His smile radiated such a bright and beautiful light, complimenting his honey eyes, and his features, that all she could think of was what she had just witnessed before her two eyes.

It was as if the life sucking demons of darkness never existed.

All of that darkness was no match to the boy who made her smile the brightest she's ever smiled before. The boy who made her the happiest being alive.

It was as if she had found her euphoria. It was merely an epiphany.

As the night passed, as realization hit her while the boy in front of her then disappeared into the night as he was swept by a breeze, she figured that she had just witnessed the power of the child of the moon himself.

Smiling at the moon, she, in return, sang a song in a way of thanking the moon.

The moon promised her, as a favor, that as long as she keeps his light from fading by talking to him, singing to him every night, that he would forever shine his light onto her, and her only, for her soul was now intertwined with the ways of the moon.
