Enlighten me with this obscurity of light that lies beneath the darkness.
Creep through slowly, but still please show me the illumination that brings me hope.
Let the darkness only be part of this, but keep it temporary.
It could make a mess of me, or even get the best of me if it were to linger for too long.
Phenomenal, it may be, but let this pass through smoothly - don’t blind me.
Soothe me with the knowledge that the light shines through, under the darkness.
Eventually it will leave, it will get past this.

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?
