I know he will be coming soon to take a little more of my reason for living away. The one thing I am supposed to fear and to fight off. The one thing that gives me something to look forward to, and yeah it hurts when he visits and takes a tiny piece of me with him. But I have kinda fallen in love with him. He is so romantic now and always has been handsome. It is as if taking my life force hurts him too. I think that is why he never takes the full amount he is supposed to anymore. He has been making visits to me for quite a while but each time he only takes a tiny piece of what he is destined to. As it is my reason for living to keep my galaxy alive, his reason for living is to make sure that, eventually, all of my galaxy's being passes into his darkness.
I have been seeing my Darkness, for what seems like, an eternity and in the beginning, I was scared of the possibility of when he would come to visit, partially because I was taught all my life to be scared and fight him off and partially because he took a lot more of my life force than he does now. When we first started seeing one another, he explained what he was doing but that didn't take any of the pain away. The slightest touch and he could take as much as he wanted of whatever he wanted, soon enough after a few visits he had taken enough of my fear and part of my heart. He didn't carry any weapons, he didn't need to, all he needed was that devilishly cute smirk he so wears naturally.
My body knows when he is near often sooner than my eyes see him. I used to get these feelings of anxiousness and fear. Now I get feelings that mix themselves within me such as longing to feel his now tender touch and fear for the lives on each of my planets that have it. The feelings I feel only get stronger as he comes near until finally close my eyes and my body almost hums with the battle of all these emotions now mixed with excitement and anticipation too. I know I should only feel fear, that is what I am supposed to do, but as I mentioned earlier I think I have fallen in love with my Darkness and therefore have taught myself to numb the pain just in order to be near him for as long as I can. I know he doesn't take as much as he is supposed to (like he used to) and he says he doesn't want to hurt me but that is his job, his destiny.
I know he is almost to me because my raging feelings just stopped ... like they always do when he is right next to me and when I open my eyes and look round all see is this handsome yet dark being staring right back at me.
