Beyond the Light

Darkness.

It's the absence of light.

But people always say that they've

seen darkness.

But they haven't.

They haven’t even come close to knowing

what darkness truly is.

I have.

I have seen horrid things that would

make others go insane just by

knowing what I have seen.

They've seen the imitation darkness;

What people think is darkness.

The almost darkness.

But I have seen the real darkness.

The darkness that's so black that the light

won't even go there.

I've been in a place where

the light won't even reach.

Won't even go near.

Won't even consider going near.

The real darkness lies beyond the light.

And I’ve been there, I’m not afraid.

But what people have seen the real darkness other than I?

The Death Eaters, that’s for sure.

Saint Potter hasn’t.

He’s never even come close.

He never will.

I have seen the real darkness.

The darkness that lies beyond the light.
