Entirety...

As days mount to years, there is an obvious increase in the burden, slowing progress. What was immense joy in the past, comes as a quick relief. But, once the tune stops, the void and the silence suck all the vacuum that is left. Alright, who would want to listen to the voice of being broken? Yes. I am broken. Not a headline to turn heads. Can a shadow be broken? How does it reveal? Not until light shines to show the broken shadow.

You are the light. You shine to fight the dark. I am the opposite. I don't fight the dark. I am the darkness. You exposed my broken shades. Hence, destiny forbid us. For, light and dark cannot be in the same place forgetting their identities. For, neither can accomodate the other without falling prey to this identity. I repeat, you are the light. You "fight" the dark. Indeed, you fought me out. 

When light splits, it creates a rainbow is what physics taught us. You broke and came out in flying colours. Ever wondered what happens when a shadow breaks? There is more darkness. Nothing more or less. This, is why you are beautiful. So much light, so many colours. Still, I have no answer why I chose you. The answer is not too complex. For the dark, any colour is new and fascinating. When you shone so bright, it is so obvious. 

Ah! The burden. Keeps growing, slowing the pace- of strides, words and even the beats. How far are you now? Ever wondered the zone where light and dark meet? I was fascinated by it and made my moves back then. Trying to find a sweet spot in this zone, I painted, forgetting that I am no artist. In this attempt to reach the zone, I shamed myself exposing the ugly broken shadow. Unable to stand the shame, I retracted- never to find light again. 

Sorrow is the scent of the dark. It is a pity that what brought us together was serendipity. But, what caught me was the mystery of why light chose dark? Hence, I munched miles, eventually falling to the greed of being with the light. Ask me why? Who would like to be in the dark forever? Makes sense? As much as you want to stay out of the dark, I wish I could stay out of the same. At this juncture, I should apologise for having missed out to think how light would survive with the dark.

All these are the result of a muted voice echoing in the dark, trying to shed the burden and catch some fresh air. A muted voice? Yes. Hence, you are reading instead of hearing this. I can see how much you panic imagining about hearing this voice again. Never mind. You are the light. Shine and fight the dark, as ever. Avoid exposing the broken shades of shadows. I am glad you did not "end up" in the dark. Light and dark- together we make the entirety but cannot become one entity... -rPhoenix
