Stains the darkness

Stains the darkness
blotted ink on dreams
spills across the mind
drowning out daylight
reason left long ago.

Stains the darkness
do you even see me standing
here in muted black
watercolor patterns
and you my bright light.

Stains the darkness
your angel eyes
quite bright white
my black eyes dim
no longer glow.

Stains the darkness
it's difficult to even find me
you see right through
into pictures you keep of me
leaving only light in night.
