In the fading darkness,
I see you standing there.
Your form frightens me,
But a part of me knows I can trust you.
Those little touches,
You embrace me fiercely.
My heart races,
My vision blurs.
Why do you affect me so?
I can't get over you,
Your eyes and lips.
Dark circles form under my eyes,
From staying up all night,
Thinking only of you.
I've never met you,
Yet I feel I know you well.
Mysteries surround you,
I feel myself being pulled in.
The darkness claws at me,
Dragging me towards its depths.
I don't want to go.
The darkness,
Where you reside.
My heart races,
My vision blurs.
Thy darkness be.
You stand in front of me,
The shadows of darkness close-by.
You reach out your hand,
I take it, unsure.
"Trust me," you say.
That's fine,
But from the darkness,
Can you protect me?
