Among the shadows deepening that
haunt you, within the twisting pain
that you feel, in the cruel loneliness
that eats you, I am there waiting
on the border, waiting for you still,
witnessing a life none else can view.

Though you wander the grey forest
of this fractured darkened life,
and even if this sorrow casts the
open sky black, still I sit in the
void that needs to be filled with
a point of light right into your soul.

This is a love that’s not measured
by regrets or given in portions
that are given back, for it exists in
the dark that cannot be seen,
in this universe before there was
light and then a candle was lit.
