The darkness faltered Seeking out the light Longing to become Something it wasn't So it cried out in vein Hoping to ease the pain Of knowing the dreadful truth The secret of the light You will never know The story that goes untold Hidden from all to see This wish will never be And so it turned away Leaving with little strength Hoping that some day The night would be the light It vowed to never cry And never to deceive Knowing that the light Would never reveal its plight
