Literature Text

I am not a child of light
Nor am I a child of dark
Just a shadow in between
A point upon the spectrum's arc

Once I danced for innocence
Outward cast, a spell I hurled
Line fell silent, beckoning
Was then you came into my world

You were not the love I sought
But rather were the love I found
Warily, I let you in
Impaled within my sacred mound

Your gestures were all crafted well
Your sentiments in beauty soaked
You sought the light within my shade
For me to make you whole, emote

I sought to give you everything
To heal the hole inside your heart
But you were just too delicate
And I was lacking in the art
An attempt at love

It flows very smoothly and i love your pattern! My favorite line is your last " And i was lacking  in the art" A very nice way to sum up the idea of the poem. Amazing job :)
