The Darkness Of The Light

My love, my love, my precious love

Each day without you I sink into

The mires of morosity

My empty arms long to hold you

My broken heart yearns for its keeper

My sobbing soul searches the stars

In dreams we are together again

Only too soon I waken

In realities’ nightmare

Time is my enemy

It flays me to the bone

It sequesters me in its catacombs

The dungeons of depression

Ensconced by darkness

Prone in the pit

The pendulum moves ever closer

At times I ask it to accelerate

Unable to cope with the pain

Other times I cling to the threads of my existence

Searching for the light

That will illuminate my path back to you
