My Darkness
I'm sitting in the darkness
Waiting for the light
The darkness tries to drag me in
I know you're coming, so I fight.
Why aren't you here yet?
What's taking you so long?
Why can't you come and save me
I don't know if I can stay strong.
The dark voices call to me
Beckoning me near
I look desperately around
It's YOUR voice I want to hear.
I know you'll come to get me
You'll pull me through this despair
And suddenly I see your face
You came to save me- you're here.
You sit beside me on the floor
Your face looks really grave
And instead of feeling reassured
Suddenly I am afraid.
You reach out to touch my hand
But your eyes are cold and far
All I want is for you to hold me
Tell me I'll forever be in your heart.
Instead you look straight in my eyes
With a smile that somehow seems false
And say the words that break my heart
"I'm sorry- I met someone else."
I break away, I trusted you
You were my only hope
I have no strength now to fight the darkness
No one left to help me cope.
I fall into the darkness
Without really a care
And as I raise the gun I wonder
Who will find me here?
Will it be my mother?
I picture her shocked surprise
Will it be my father?
I watch helplessly as he cries
Will it be my friends?
I see their tearstained faces
Who will come to my funeral?
The people I care about, standing, crying in their places.
That’s when I realize
I don’t want to die
And suddenly a ray of light
Streaks through my dark sky
I had fought the darkness
Without any help at all
My power was special, something unique
Love made the darkness fall.
Then he came back to me
Asking for my forgiveness
He says he doesn’t love that other girl
It’s me that he misses
He says he needs me beside him
Especially at night
Because there’s this loveless darkness
That only I can help him fight
So I teach him the power
To get rid of this dark
And then he smiles, reaches for my hand
And tells me I’ll be forever in his heart.
