Like a pendulum, it oscillates back and forth,
One is fondness and the other is a mystery,
The key to the mystery is a real mystery.
Venomous and slimy is that key,
That took my time and everything,
Too precious is to lose, that even covers my age.
When I turn back, it looks like a dark tunnel,
But I never needed a torch to walk,
As I know to walk in the dark.
I found a way out to see the light,
But the darkness seems to follow me,
And it can neither be ignored nor accepted.
