Literature Text

A candle by the cavern,
Deep as deceit,
And dark as the lie,
The warm basking light only scratches its surface,
For what lies within heals the wounds of one,
Yet burdens all who follow him

Truth carves its hallowed name,
Like sharpened claws in tender respite,
The mirror,
Trusted ally and devotee,
Blind-sights feelings,
And now bears no salvation

As the enemy we know,
Bared teeth and lips taught,
Laughing like the cursed Cheshire cat,
Is like oil to the flame
For the darkness we fear,
We also seek
Which is better? The enemy you know or the one you don't, is ignorance truly blissful or do we seek simply solitude from persecution? :)
