My Darkness,
did you ever think of me
without it,
I doubt it,
It has always been with me;
My Darkness.

My Loving,
T’was very little in me,
A small part
Of my heart,
Something that only you set free;
My Loving.

When played, me like a fool,
And I lose,
I tried, words like a tool;
T’is all I have about me now,
I lose much,
All that I have gained somehow;
Left alone in darkness glare,
Lost so much,
When loving away you tear.

My darkness,
If you think I see some light,
Remember,
T’is ember,
Of what once before burned bright;
In darkness.
