If not for the dark <br />I wouldn’t be here <br />For not for the part <br />Of my heart you <br />Broke <br />I wouldn’t be able <br />To write <br />Like an angel <br />Master of my craft <br />Always improving <br />With out you <br />There’d be no dark <br />No art to hide there <br />No soul willing to find <br />It <br />No one to dispair <br />Without you mother <br />I would not be what I am <br />Who I was and what you <br />Claimed for me to be <br />If not for the dark <br />I wouldn’t be <br />A god given gift <br />If not for the dark, <br />I wouldn’t cry when it rained, <br />And I wouldn’t think of <br />That damned flood... <br />So many years ago, <br />If not for the dark... <br />I could not be vain, <br />I could not be at once <br />Maculine Eros <br />And Fememine Aphrodite <br />I could not see why <br />Pride will be my downfall <br />If not for the dark <br />I would be bitter to the world <br />Becuase of your rotting <br />Cervix I came forth <br />If not for the dark<br /><br />Alyce Crowley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-not-for-the-dark/
