Darkness My Sweet-Sweet Love

Darkness, My Sweet one,

Oh, how I long for your embrace and yet I do not fully give in,
I let you enfold me, even when I fear where you may take me,
I dance according to your tune, yet I’m the author; my song,

I smile when I see you come, and rejoice when you leave me be,
Your presence is commanding, yet you cannot compete with the light,
You are the love I need for a while, yet the enemy I need to keep at bay,
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer they say,

But you aren’t either; now, are you?

I am not afraid of you; how can I be?
Yet, I fear you might take me too deep I might not want to come back to the
sun,
Where you are, my greatest weakness is shown and my newfound strength
glows,

Oh, darkness, I could never walk away even if I wanted to,

I could never stay in the sun too long,
I would come looking for you,
Darkness, Oh my sweet-sweet love, you are a part of me and I you.
