A Battle Rages
    This great empty void
    Expanding within my hearts home
    An eternal cosmos of sadness
    Misery's black hole
    Swallowing feelings
    They slip slowly away
    Disappearing silently
    Below the event horizon
    No time to savor the victory
    Of this dark ones hold
    It’s black formless hand
    Reaching within the mind
    To grasp thought itself
    Suffers unexpected defeat
    Blinded by the brilliance
    Stored away long ago
    In memory's golden vault
    It falters then retreats
    Beaten back by the hope
    Of loves return
    Someday…
