all light

(option 2)

a world of black and white a vision knew only dark

trapped soulless between the shadows and the light

a longing disguised as fear turned into a spark

i could only think of one haunting name in the rain

a soft touch a shallow fault a lasting hurtful pain

my whole life felt like one long washed-out night

there we were chasing the outline of the night

until the moon had faded leaving the sky dark

lost in the ecstatic thrill of insanity and pain

there we were racing after what’s left of the light

watching the colorless world drown away in rain

the only thing left ignited was our muffled spark

a chance i took and in your eyes i saw the spark

leather jackets and white-gold shoes under the night

a paper cup of cold latte and the sound of the rain

wishing the impossible we only belonged in the dark

a seven-letter name i didn’t dare to bring into light

black skirts and crimson lipsticks and all was pain

there we were my heart synced to the beats of pain

but in the eternal darkness you were the spark

you taught me everything i knew under star light

there we were falling down the deepest night

fingers around my wrist pulled me into the dark

leaving red marks on my skin they burn in the rain

a sad song and a story that ended in pouring rain

i was drowning in fragmented silence and sober pain

a memory of a world that had never been this dark

broken to pieces by what i had mistaken for the spark

a heart that doesn’t heal and a gleaming ocean of night

but one thing i could never be wrong about: you. were. light.

falling in the dark, one last time to create a spark

breaking from pain, searching for the end of to- night

life was the rain but through that rain i saw light
