So they say that art finds its way in the dark
As if the pitch black allows your eyes
To form shapes and colours beyond the pain
As if the beating of your heart fills the room
With a melody that your fingers flow with the page
As if the tears collide down your face the same way
The window rain did when dancing as two then as one
As you trailed it down the window pane
As if this tortured soul can battle through that pain
And product beauty, and still remain sane
So they say that art finds its way in the dark
But what happens when that is all I see?
How do i produce an image or a thing
That sums up what has happened to me
Because within this place of inner turmoil and regret and sadness
The blackness itself is the beauty.
