Darkness Comes (02.07.08)

Lying there shattered,
Bleeding and done
I couldn’t help
To think of you
And what we’ve done

There is
Some kind
Of darkness
That is
Creeping over to me
It makes me
Want to believe
There is
Something else
In this world
For me

I can’t stay here
Thinking about it
I can’t spend
Every last breath
I have left
Speaking about you

It’s not worth
The trouble
Of the cold,
Unforgiving floor
I lie on
To come
And tempt me

Lying here
Wasted as I am
Reminds me
Of your eyes
Which are as blue
As the sky afar
And your skin
Which now
Reminds me of
The white light
That should
Be coming
To get me
But instead
Darkness comes

The darkness comes
And embraces me
Like an old friend;
Long forgotten
And newly reappeared
And it’s like
Time never changed,
We just grew older
Waiting to meet again

The darkness comes
To take me
Away from you
I can’t fight it
‘Cause it’s
A part of me
And all I see
Is this darkness
That comes
For me
