Writing » Poems » Black void

I remember the first time
I was in that dark place,
That black void.

It was almost four years ago.
I remember the sword duel
That led to its creation.

While this place stayed empty
For most of four long years,
I was always at peace in it.

While it's full of darkness,
It is also a well-lit place,
For my shadows are not welcome.

It is not empty anymore,
But it still provides much needed
Peace and happiness.

For it is in that place
That I can be with my beloved.
For it is in that place
That I can truly be home.

For it is in that place
That I can truly live.
For it is in that place
That I can get rid of my masks.
