Staggering into the darkness,
The deep black pit I call home,
I bump upon loose canons
While walking through catacombs.
And so I lie, so I die,
Bit by bit each night
For defeat seems imminent
In absence of the light.
But wait! I feel the warmth again,
The warmth of the golden sun;
Upon my pale, cold, sunken skin
I feel my heart race, blood run.
And through that cascade of gold,
Your silhouette shines in black
You bring to me a moment of peace,
And all my demons, they fall-back.
You snatched me from the underworld
For a while it feels like I’m brought alive
And you put my pieces back together
With the intention for me to thrive.
And so I do, in your light,
I look at my way ahead,
Everything makes me smile
And nothing now I dread.
But I don’t look back, I’ll never look back
Because I’m scared you won’t be there
That soft nudge, that quiet push,
All disappeared in thin air.
But still I’ll walk, I’ll breathe in your warmth
Even in your absence so stifling;
Because this moon that you were to my night
Makes my darkest sorrow look trifling.
