A Darker Love Poem by Ethan Wilson

It was a love not found in light
It was a love that was not even of night
It was a love that laid in the shadows
Underneath the willows bough

That is where I found you
Broken and lonely but you knew the truth
I have come across your type before
But not so quiet and graceful you'd beheld a long fall

It was a love that was found where you wouldn't expect
It was a love that wasn't lost just a hard test
It was a love of a darker kind
The kind that is rare to ever find

That is where you found me
Blind and dumb I'd lost the meaning of what was free
You have never come across the likes of myself
You found me in a dark hour, in a living hell
