And Then it was Black

We stared at each other until I cursed her exsistence

My identical half who's staring right back at me

Resurfaced in the depths of my long forgotten sea

Urging me to join her once more

As I let my peticoat be stained by saltwater

My refracted feet pulse beneath the skin of the sea

Reminding me that blood still courses in my veins

And so my warm blooded self submerged herself in the cold

As my eyes adjusted to the blinding darkness

I saw death beneath me

The corals that was once blooming with the abundance of life

Mimicked a city that was fresh from war—lifeless, gloomy, broken

The series of trenches ahead is filled with a variety of sea monsters

Each were intricately crafted into perfection

It made me recognize the power my mind had over me

Oh how it created such darkly beautiful creatures

I could just drown myself and let my dead being sway to the rhythm of the waves

Cold, gone and hopeless just like the sea beneath me

But instead, My hard headed self turned over

Floating the pains away, prolonging the agony that I've imposed on myself

Even the sky was dark and mysterious

But it wasn't as lifeless as the sea

It was filled with shining stars that sparkled differently from basic jewelry

And carefree clouds that's moving so light and delicate

But amidst all the amenities the night had offered

The moon stood out amongst them all

It didn't care that it was surrounded by darkness

It continued beaming, illuminating, radiating—ever so proud of it's light

And I guess my pair of dark orbs

Mirrored the face of the moon

As it pulls me close, hypnotizing me in it's majestic beauty

Encouraging me to not just merely breathe, but live

We're all surrounded with different shades of black but in the end, it's all up to us whether we'll mimic the attitude of the moon. Shine on, don't let the darkness consume you. You're not merely a star, you're the moon of your sky.
