Darkness doesn't have a heart. Neither does it have a centre. It is like a bottomless pit without any hint of what it contains. Of all the phenomena in this mortal world, darkness is the most unfathomable. We are all dark inside. Atleast a part of us is. We venture out, looking for someone to eradicate, if not whole, atleast a part of this darkness in us. But often, even when we find someone willing to share our darkness, indulge us and love us the way we are, the darkness inside us rears its ugly head & fills our heart with doubts & questions we'd never ask otherwise. Gullible, that we are, we pay heed to these vile thoughts & discarding all that we initially felt, tightly wind up ourselves inside our shell. It's not that we don't want to be pulled out but we never really give anyone a chance to do so. And then we crib about how no one cares.
Like I'm doing now. Damn! This wasn't supposed to get personal.
I'm stuck in this abyss. Waiting for you to extend an arm. For me to grab. So that you can pull me out. Into the safety of your arms. Into the warmth of your love.
We fall into the abyss so a ray of light can pull us up. But sometimes the fall is so long that we don't even like the ray
ReplyDeleteThe ray of hope is always there, Ivan. But, we are just too scared to believe in it. :)
DeleteQuestion is, how would u know if an arm's been next to u all this while?
ReplyDeleteYou won't. Not if you are too afraid.
DeleteIn my experience, there's only one entity that can pull you out of an abyss. To see that entity, you need a mirror, though.
