Darkness vs. Light

Darkness creeps so slowly,
I am caught by surprise.
Somehow my world plunges into unending sorrow.
All it takes is a song,
A poem,
A nudge.
Then I am falling.
Silent screams echo in my ears.
I struggle to find a light bright enough.
Something to fend off the darkness like a sword.
It isn’t fair to face the darkness knowing there is no escape.
I will not die.
I cannot.
Life clings to me against my will.
Where is my other half?
My soul mate?
My light?
I don’t want to be alone,
Facing down my demons without a shred of hope.
Need me.
Find me.
Shine so brightly I will be drawn to you.
I can’t forget I need to shine.
I just feel as if my light is dimming.
How will you find me if I am swallowed by my darkness?
A light.
A flame.
A spark of hope.
I need a way to defeat my sorrows,
So I can help battle yours.
Please.
Just a glimmer of hope?
