And Then It Stopped
I was at a loss
Unable to fight my demons
Powerful and angry
They lashed out at me
As if they knew that since
I am made not of sorcery
They would vanquish me easily!
The torture lasted for years
I tried to fight back
But could not
I was too weak
I could only stand still
And let the demons
Do as they willed!
I thought of myself as cursed
After all, demons approach not
The shadows of angels
Demons only strike the fallen
To cause them to have lost souls
Souls swirling and twirling
In the sea of madness
The sea captivating us with its beauty
But made of waves capable of sinking us
Why, I thought it would go on
And stay as long as I lived
So much that I even confined myself
Into the refuge of my own company
But then,
All of a sudden
It stopped
And I realized
That all this time
I had been blind
I was naught but a moth
A moth captivated by the mystical light
A moth saved by the same light
A moth made of addiction
Craving for more and more
Of whatever the power of the light
Would deem best to bestow upon me!
Yes, it is over
It has stopped!
