A Ray of Light in the Darkness

People say the darkest places slowly rot because sunlight can't reach them.

Darkness becomes what it is because too many people hide from the sun,

gathering until they form an abyss that even sunlight cannot penetrate.

Could someone reach out and pull me up when I'm in the dark,

and use sunlight to nourish the heart within me, consumed by darkness,

so it no longer gives off the stench of decay?
