Dazzled By Darkness – A Poem

As I stared in those eyes to question,

They blinked away in unbound tension,

Bore into them to find what they were asking,

The eyes that had no trace of the living,

It was a vicious cycle that my proximity bred,

Choking down till it was dead,

I knew darkness always lurked an inch beneath,

Its push growing stronger with each passing breath,

Once upon I was the loveliest accident,

Had no idea of my murkiness unspent,

The way I could be obnoxious for some time,

Foul and vitriolic with that mental grime,

The dazzling light had tenebrific shadows,

Condemning us both to the infernal meadows!
