PART OF ME NEEDS DARKNESS TOO (An Original Poem)

in poetry •  8 years ago 

the frozen streets
remind me of how i sometimes get.
how easy it is to be cold:
while still beating underneath.

it’s never the darkness that slips
us up,
but the patches of light in-between
that promise us a moment
of rest.

—one we hope will continue on, forever.
a subtle wish for the light to remain the same,
hope lingers on,
but i sometimes think
we need darkness too.

Nice poem, but this got me.

it’s never the darkness that slips
us up,
but the patches of light in-between
that promise us a moment
of rest.

It's amazing
