You were deathly afraid of the dark.
We spent a fortune on night lights and candles
And glow in the dark stickers.
One day I told you, youd never be afraid again.
I went out and dug a whole so deep, light could never touch it
I dug until I could hear or see nothing.
And then I went to get you.
I took your wrist and handcuffed it to mine.
I hoisted you over my shoulder and climbed down to the very bottom.
You screamed. And you cried. So I covered your mouth until you were done.
I told you this would make you brave
Youd never have to fear again
We sat there in silence. I couldnt see you
Could only feel the handcuffs that connected us.
I asked if you were still afraid of the dark.
Imagine my surprise when you said you were afraid of me.
