The dark is so comforting to a lonely heart

Envelop and enfold, your embrace keeps me together When I'd rather just fall apart

When sadness tries to overtake my heart, you are a slight relief From the stabbing pains the light inflicts upon my eyes

Nobody sees tears when you cover me so

Please Darkness, my love, never let me go

You numb the agony that eats me away

Some say you'll **** me I say you're the reason I still draw breath

Sitting alone, you and I Your silence is the kiss that brings warmth to my blood

But then I drift off to unawareness, a realm where you are not my only lover

Be not aflame with envy my dear

For in the world in which I dwell You are my one and only

You alone have my hand, my lips, my body, mind, and soul

You bring a spark of insanity

To melt the snow and ice that has slowly accumulated on my withering, dying heart

It's always cold here, subzero

And I'm forever trying to fight the frostbite

That comes simply from living in this harsh, unforgiving world

So don't feel insecure, just blanket my being, encase me in blissful blindness

You are all I will ever have

It may be fleeting, but the solace and contentment your presence brings allows my heart to beat another day

I will sit with you forever and let my body decay.

I no longer care. They may call what we have perverse if they wish.

They will never understand how you make me feel.

They don't need to understand my life.

So I say, never let me go.

I will always be true to you, I will always return

Darkness, my one true love.
