Within the darkness is a powerful attraction that pretends to offer certain comforts; the yearnings you’ve hungered so very long for. Truly, it needs you more than anything so it can feed off of desperations and neglected dreams.
While it nurses from your soul, draining away its vibrant, limitless energy, you are distracted by the hatred, regret and hurt dealt by others while ensnared by its gaze; the blackened pit ever so deep as you fall, losing all reason. There is no end to this and even when you are running on empty it latches on; grasping ever so tightly into your sensitive, raw flesh. The addiction is mutual.
A pure source of fear, it too fears that your stare may break from its own, leaving it alone and ever hungry, starving in an abyss of other creatures that offer no comforts to fill its belly with. The need in you is strong to love and to bring goodness to those around you. This is the repulsive source of sustenance it cannot digest and will quickly distress the grip it once held upon you.
Despite the alluring stare of this graceful blackness dancing with a soothing hypnotic rhythm, the slight turn of your gaze cuts it free, placing it back into the prison it brought upon you. With your focus firmly on spreading kindness you travel well beyond the reaches of emptiness only to find a fulfillment that brings peace.
In despair nothing awaits you
