The Darkness

She looked for him in the darkness. Shaky winds followed behind her. The moon, the stars were her only source of light. She's searching for him. He creeps in the shadows, lost in the darkness. She smells his fear, his insecurities. Lost between the trees, he doesn't know which direction to go. Pain fills his heart, anger fuels his mind. The darkness became his light, his friend, his mentor. The darkness planted its loving arms of protection around him, making him forget what was and who he was. And yet, she still searched for him. She crossed every bridge, climbed the highest hills. He's worth finding, he's worth saving. She searched and searched until her feet bled, her hair matted, there was nothing left in her but the feeling of defeat and as the hot tears came upon her face. She smiled. Not because she had been defeated or that she gave up searching. She smiled because the end of her search for him turned out to be the journey of finding herself. So the darkness became the light, and sky shaded blue. She followed the sounds of dancing winds and singing birds and she didn't turn around to search for him again. What doesn't bring her peace, will not receive her energy
