Darkness by Anonymous

Deep inside where Darkness waits i felt You drawing near i kept my distance for a time Unsure why i felt fear Of You? Your words? Your gentle touch? Or something else again i felt it stir within my breast The Darkness deep within i'd guessed at it, and studied it But still refused to see i knew You sensed it from the start This Darkness inside me You laughed and held out Your hand You wouldn't let me run And soon enough i reached for it O/our journey had begun The struggle was inside myself Cold fear mixed with Your heat You didn't try to take my heart i laid it at Your feet You took it up and made it Yours Held so light on it could shine Then made me look at what i called The Darkness that was mine i saw that it was beautiful When looked at through Your eyes And so very much a part of me Without it i would die You taught me how to love myself The part i couldn't see Then mixed some starlight with the Dark And gave it back to me
