I Advance In The Darkness

I advance in the darkness
I advance in the gloom.
For reasons I do not know,
And for things I cannot do.

Whether it’s the sound of crying
Or simply the sight of despair,
I’d respond to their calls
With no intention of repair.

The night time would have been proud
As I cast a shadow on the world in a hurl.
Enlightened by moonlight, empowered by rage,
No peace in sight, not even the face of a baby girl.

I advance in the darkness
I advance in the gloom.
On my own volition
And my own heartbreak too.

The gods would have been pleased with me
As I unleashed Pandora’s box
Engulfed in pain and sorrow,
The world was put in shock.

Is that the Earth I see crying?
What a sight to behold!
As she struggled to fix herself
Not to die as she was told.

Where would I fit in?
Would I have to die too?
But you see, a deal was made with the shadows,
Now I am to be used as its tool.

There I will stand.
Pensive,
Masochistic,
Solemn and sarcastic,

I advance in the darkness,
I advance in the gloom.
The world outside will be vexed,
And my very own be in bloom.
