Such a great thing is this absence
Smooth to my sight
Protecting my slumber
I feel safe within your presence
Some seem to think that's wrong
Black be the night
Black be the coolness
The stars they light my way
Black be that cat who purrs and with me lays
Black be the defiance in my soul
Black be the rebellion in my eyes
I think not of it as a fright or as lonely
I think of it as a shield for whats really there
It may be an absence but it lacks nothing
To me it is whole
To me it is home

I like this.
Well done.
You have a few mistakes...
Line ten:
"difiance" should be "defiance"
Line thirteen:
"sheild" should be "shield"
Line fourteen:
"abscence" should be "absence"
Thank you for your entry,
Best of luck!
