The light was so bright
our time together unforgettable
the love was fierce
and unconditional
When the light started to dim
the darkness crept in
slowly sinking its teeth
cleverly trapping me unnoticed
I longed for the light
still saw it shining
the darkness would pass
A dream convinced into reality
A lie made into truth
crumbling around me
the darkness grew heavier
the lightning struck
and thunder surrounded
the emptiness between us
crashing down
this feels like death
Am I dying
or are you dead
everything becomes still
the calm after the storm
calm enough to walk again
toward the light
forgiving the darkness
believing the lies
waiting for the light
to strike

If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
