It was dark
A type of dark
Which left shadows
Sightless

We were both
One
Inevitably so,
Light struggled to
Run.
Where was unknown,
But darkness laughed—

For they were one,
None existed without
The other.

She crumbled to the
Ground,
Fearing evil thoughts,
Fearing disgust,
Fearing isolation.

Innocence and evil
Became her veins—
A heart was a choice—
The outcome was that
Which blinded it all—
The shadow.
