I used to be your heart, now I am just another pretty face. The reason you survive, the cradle of your life. I remembered you from years ago suddenly this December. Your presence crushed me to the streets as though it hated I forgot you exist somewhere in the universe, breathing and dreaming different dreams.
I used to be your light, now I am just a dying candle. I was the essence of your being, the map of your existence. I remembered you on a random tuesday morning and now it is not so random anymore. Your words and your stares, all those I had locked away returned as though it was envious I was in peace, dangling brighter stars on my brand new sky.

I am not trying to conquer you or control you or make you surrender so why do you let me?

Those that know powerful thoughts by heart, but have never formed their own are pawns in the hands of those powerful people.

Why does darkness chase the light if it is its enemy? If hate survived behind the hollow look it casts, I would have known it. It was a silent ache to be whole again, to exist.
Darling, in the wake of everything I went through, I carefully searched the corners of my secrets, tested myself unlike anyone
And I found I am not of substance, I remain the absence of you
Just as the absence of light conceived a child of dark ages,
I was conceived in the void-
A place where the echo lingers like a song, where my whispers sound like my own.
Why?
Even the nothingness craves,
Even the emptiness desires utter fullness,
And I, a being of the void was caught in the pull of what I lack,
I chase you restlessly so as not to extinguish you,
Not to destroy the beauty you bring,
But to feel for just a moment what it is like to be alive, to be bare.
I know I wasn't born to yearn,
to nurse this hunger,
to stretch my hands towards the light,
But even so, I will chase
For in the pursuit,
in the fleeting touch of your glow,
I remember what it is to exist.

She greets death with a kiss, in love with the treason of altering her soul like the night fall won't pass and crumble the things close to her heart's desire. It is a custom of a woman, to repair what you didn't break, they told her long ago and she treats what she didn't believe in like a myth told to scare small girls with big spirits. They said, if there was a shadow of a doubt in your veins, you must let it be buried formally, in front of everyone that wants it gone. If you have voices of your own too big for your small frame then you will do well to bite your tongue they chanted. And she knew if there was anyone to be scared of, it wasn't them for even the slight change of tone of her wolfy voice shakes something inside them. She knew the only way to control a menace is to weaken it with fear or use the method of pirates and collect the heart of an ocean like an object. They think power is control yet power was the ability to move the ship without lifting s finger.
