Darkness, my old friend. Do you remember me?

Sometimes I miss your cool embrace as you wiped my tears,
as I held my breath waiting for your sister, Death, to claim my blackened soul.
How I miss your lips upon my forehead wishing me good night,
cold hands keeping me safe.

You have not abandoned me, my friend.
I have not abandoned you. I love you.
Yet I have been introduced to Light. Her warm hands wipe away
my tears and keep me safe. She wrap her arms around me until the
tears no longer flow.

I still have the scars you left me, I still remember
the blades slicing at my skin; the sweet burning as I swallowed the poison.
I still remember waiting for your kin to claim me, yet She never came to me.

I am glad for that,. Light is beautiful; I am fortunate.
 

Leave me be, my friend. I do not need those blades any longer.
