Let Me Be

i am a well of Night
you don't want to come near me

the stars, all the bright things
had left me wailing soundlessly

even my tears won't come
to fill me up.
/
for even just seconds
let the world dim,
make the sun blink,

for the Light is too much
for me, a creature of Darkness
never used to seeing Life in color,

afraid of seeing Beauty
i cannot manifest.
/
Loneliness is just
a small withered leaf
falling in Time as i am
/
the full moon blinked
and in that heartbeat
of darkness

i knew
how gravely Light
has lied to me

all along
/
tonight
i decide
to remain

eternally
broken

i am crystal
breaking as
a bad omen

but please
please

pick me up
hold me close
and let me be

let me be
the brutal beauty

they so
refuse to see
