My Knight Light

Author: Unknown

Throughout my life I've stumbled,
Blinded by the dark
Torn to shreds by monsters
Devouring my heart

Ripping chunks from my soul
Clawing deep into my mind
Alone, I stood, trying to stand
While my past stalked from behind

Then I saw my silhouette
Against the sunset sky
Light filled me up with hope
my once lost strength I did find

It was beating in your heart
It was shining in your eyes
The light I've begged and pleaded for
Was within you all this time

About this poem:

The light we all seek is hard to find when we bury it, so deep, within our own darkness, that we become blinded to its existence, turning outwards we seek to find it in another person. The light we see in others belongs to only them, theirs alone to find.
