Our Darkness
I’ve missed our darkness
The light that only we can bring when brought together
Your insatiable thirst to feel alive
And my lazy desire to end it all
We are a beautiful match
Paired by violence and blacked out memories
We’ve both let go
We’ve both let go of every thing
My body is dying
It can no long hold back the torture
The pain I stuff inside of me
The thirst not even I know how to quench
You are losing the color
From eyes that were always so filled with life
A page taken from all the greatest stories
You’re own novel now blank
So it seems we’ve found one another
Again when each breath seems harder to take
You become my lover, my doctor, my best friend
You give just enough of you to keep me talking
Talking about how I want to save you
How I want to make every day a different day and nothing the same
Thanking you for my life
Begging you for a chance at yours
I’ve missed our darkness
The time that is only ours
In the corners of night and during the time outs of the day
In the places no one else wants to look
A small part of me wishes you didn’t know I’d always be here
A bigger part of me wants you to stay longer than I know you will
The rest of me is just lost in your smile
Knowing I may not see it again until the lights go out for us both
