His darkness

I never knew the darkness

until it was too late

My once knight in shining armour

now clad in rusty iron plate

 

The first time I saw the darkness

it took me by surprise

How such a sweet and gentle man

could have such anger in his eyes

 

But the anger couldn’t be contained

he had to set the darkness free

And though I’m not sure what I did

he let it loose on me

 

He said after he was sorry

that the fault wasn’t all mine

that he would never come at me again

he would never cross that line

 

But there’s a darkness lives inside him

is it the best that I deserve

after all I have to take some blame

after all its all I’m worth

 

But I find if I watch what I say

make sure he doesn’t get so sad

life with him is pretty good

and on the whole its not so bad

 

The darkness doesn’t spill out much

but he’s my husband I’m his wife

and its up to me to do my best

to give us both a happy life.
