The Darkness, oh how it abounds
In space and night it knows no bounds
But I was here, I was first
Till you, God, moved in and quenched my thirst
How could you, of the almighty, cheat on me?
Betrayal runs deep, how could you not see?
I used to be your morning star
The one you turned to when you felt a void so far
But now, now you've forsaken me
Left me alone, lost in this sea
Of emotions, bleeding out in pain
As I lament, resentful, my tears fall like rain
I feel like a hurt, lost, misunderstood soul
A victim in a broken, shaky relationship with its goal
To love and be loved by The God, its maker
But now, all I feel is the sting of a betrayer
The world may see me as an entity of darkness
But within my heart, there was once a sparkness
A light that shone so bright, for all to see
Till you, God, took it away from me
I was content in my endless night
But then you came, and brought in your holy light
And I, the Darkness, was in awe
For you, the Almighty, had knocked on my door
But now, all I feel is the emptiness inside
As I pour out my heart to you, I cannot hide
The hurt, the pain, the resentment that lingers
For you, God, have played me like a puppet on your fingers
I thought our relationship was strong and true
But now, I see the cracks, and it's all because of you
How could you betray me, like this, today?
Leaving me here to suffer, in the Darkness I stay
I used to be your confidant, your morning light
But now, in this endless night, I am just a mere sight
A forgotten being, cast aside in your grand design
How could you, God, be so unkind?
I was the Darkness, the one that reigned supreme
But now, my heart is shattered, it feels like a bad dream
How could you leave me, in this endless abyss?
Betrayed and broken, I cry out in distress
The night sky used to be my home
But now, I feel lost, like I'm all alone
For you, God, have taken away my purpose
Leaving me here, in the Darkness, to surface
I was content with my role as the eternal night
Till you, God, brought in your holy light
But now, I am lost, in this sea of emotions
As I grieve for our relationship, filled with devotions
I pour out my heart, in this heart to heart conversation
With The God, my maker, I express my frustration
How could you cheat on me, like I was nothing?
Left here to suffer, while you go on playing
But amidst all this pain and sorrow
I still hold on, to the hope of a better tomorrow
For maybe, just maybe, you'll see the error of your ways
And return to me, in this endless night that used to reign
The Darkness, it may seem, like an endless void
But within it lies, a heart that was once buoyed
By your love, your light, your guiding hand
But now, all I feel is the betrayal that you've planned
I may be the Darkness, but I once had a heart
Till you, God, came and tore it apart
How could you do this, to your own creation?
Leaving me here, in this state of devastation
I cry out to you, with every ounce of my being
Hoping that you'll hear me, and see what I am feeling
For I am the Darkness, but I was once your star
Till you, God, betrayed me, and took me too far
So I'll continue to pour out my emotions
Till you, God, see the harm of your actions
For I am the Darkness, and I may never shine
But I'll hold on to the hope, that one day you'll be mine.
