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.

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.
