The darkness seems to swallow me whole

I no longer exist without you

Then a gentle breeze blows, stirring my soul

But no comfort in it is renewed

Myself I can fool no longer

I have to admit that you're gone

It's only for you that I hopefully hunger

Yet I hopelessly die with each bloody dawg

I go through each day with a feigning content

My true feelings have become too shy

I work, as my usual day is spent

But by night I'm alone, and I cry

I cry for the days to never embrace

My heart burns with an icy fire

Angry tears rip at my paling face

Because I know I can't have this one desire

Memories lash through me hazy mind

I cringe at the forthcoming pain

They've told me that you I never will find

If I did, what could I gain?

All is silent, as a tear falls away

And a breeze blows gently again

Your voice comes through, and I hear you say

That you'll be back as soon as you win

You struggle for light against the dark

You're running through an engulfing flame

Then once out, on your journey embark

But promise to me you'll be the same

I pause to listen, and hear you speak

And feel you wrap around me

I start to tremble, and I fall down, weak

Trapped, but there's no fight to be free

You're alive, and that's all I need

I can go on, because you're here

You've planted again love's tiny seed

And death never again shall I fear.
