Darkness of the Heart

Arieru Ratoretto, May Second, 2005

Light has always been portrayed

As the good, the day, the white.

Never has there been a trade

Between what's wrong or right.

Darkness is always wrong,

Always ensymbols night.

No one hears its lovely song,

Nor sees its terrible plight.

People are afraid

Of what's beyond their sight.

They always try to take a blade

To what's more that their might.

The night, it must be lonely

When it causes naught but fear.

No one to call it only,

Nothing it can hold dear.

They're as different as day and night;

They feel nothing but hate.

Every time they start a fight,

Bloodlust they wish to sate.

But light without the dark can't shine

Nor will the darkness show.

Neither can see both are sublime

Each sees the other half as low.

One in the other's eye

Could only be a foe.

Whether or not this is a lie

One will never know.
