Dear Old Dark

Thank you for being here,
I'm only happy when you're near,
My life unwinds and stops before me,
Dark stalks in- a wonder is she.
Caress my face, open my eyes,
At night I can forget all the lies.
The light fades down but I'm not blind,
The beautiful truth in my midnight mind.
Imprisoned until that fateful hour,
It comes alive- that nightmare power,
Enveloping, choking, still I breathe,
His scythe cold and lazy in its sheath.
Come one, come all, celebrate this love,
Raise our arms in triumph as we rise above.
Rest that head, I watched as you bled,
Lie with me darling- there's only one in this bed.
