Her rainbow stands in front of her
but dark clouds have blurred her vision
it doesn’t help him to make his mark
for of course her rainbow too is dark
All her life, she lived in the dark
carefully protecting, the light in her heart
Demons grew within her, haunting her soul
and he offered her hell, for her demons to make home
She craves to be held, the one who shall stay
and the one who can see, and tell her it’s okay
But he comes not to hold, but to get her to race
he wants not to pull her through, but push her ahead
A weight falls on her chest, and she cannot catch a breath
time moves on, but she stays at one place
He defies time and surrounds her whole
he cares not for past or present, and makes the moment her
home
He offers not light, but darkness that engulfs
not her knight in shining armor, but one that she deserves
dark rainbows melt dark clouds away
then she’ll see, the light living within her all along the
way
