Though the darkness seems still
I can feel it ache
As it tries to consume me
To tear me away
From all that I have ever known
But to know something
And to belong to something
Are two completely different things
Yet still you remain a part of me

The pull is there
I feel it all through the night
And my heart can barely quiet it's rest
There is life in many things
But I seek for it in seldom
There is light in few things
Yet I look for it in you
And the hope that I cling to
Rests upon your shoulders
It is a gentle weight
Yet you feel it all the same

Like a magnet the night pulls
Oh how opposites attract
Still I try to turn my face to the sun
But my feet will not follow
I resist all that you are
Yet I love the sound of your voice
And I cannot help but ask
Where is my joy?
Where is my peace?
Admist all that I endure

I bear the weight of all this life
These scars weighed in pounds
The darkness screams
In many colors
And breaks apart all that is sound
