Take // Betray

about

A poem.

Extended metaphors: depression - a baby that clings to the parent. Also associated with the night.

Hope/overcoming depression - The sun/daytime

The character is intimately and intensely embraced by the night/baby. There is an irony in the comparison between a baby, her traits and the way it is expressed. The sun greets the character and his presence raises the spirits of the person. Ultimately he is betrayed by the sun's character and the night/baby takes him.

lyrics

The cradle drops and night falls/
Nascent and vile/
She crawls atop my bare aching chest/
and in her grasp I lament.

Eyes blue as the ocean's gaze/
dainty fingertip but rough/
grasp and sever the ties that bind/
the anchors of hope to love.

The sun greets me/
His touch gentle is smile wild/
the pain melts into bliss/
I feel only it's caress...

...She takes me // He betrays me
