I am the darkness
You are the light
You know what I truly am
Yet your eyes held no fright
My coming meant the inevitable end
Yet you still see me as a friend
These feelings I have, I can't explain
Why your gentle touch brings me such pain
To keep you from suffering, I'll give up my life
But, the one who must take it is you, my light
I realized it was much too soon
So I gave you 'til New Year's to choose
I couldn't bear the time apart
The thorns' pitiless grip grew tighter on my heart
New Year's Eve had finally arrived
The day had come for you to decide
As I waited in your room, I desperately prayed
That you would take my life and not let me stay
Sadly my prayers were in vain
I should've know the end from the start
A pure gem shouldn't bear such a stain their heart
I told you clearly what to expect with a final adieu
But, not before I finally said, "I love you"
Once I left we would never be the same
The next time we meet one will be slain
That fated night greeted me with a frightening sight
Your gorgeous eyes were no longer bright
Your heartache proved that I should've been dead
But, your loving embrace told me this wasn't the end
I realized that our love would never be torn apart
So long as the thorns of forbidden love closely held our hearts
I am the darkness
You are the light
To save the world and spare me
You gave up your life
