Beyond the Glow by P D Dawson

Beyond the Glow

Was it not I who moved among this dark?

Trying to outperform the light

Placing concrete among pixel sparks

Trying in vain to fill the night

Was it not I who shone so bright?

Trying to shade you from my love

Pushing apart all things from sight

Trying to see them from above

Was it not I who sprang from mud?

Trying to clean all imperfections

Parting the sea as if it were your blood

Trying to rid you of my affections

Was it not I who got the bends?

Trying to sink deeper into your soul

Praying for that which no one mends

Trying in vain to exist amid your glow
