Darkness and light
Darkness and light
I know now why
I'm afraid to get close to you.
I am the darkness,
you are the light.
The one who came before
damaged me beyond repair.
He stole the light, the innocence,
he tore my heart out, too.
Every time I try to go to you,
your light burns my flesh.
Where there is light,
there cannot be darkness.
But like a moth
drawn to the flame,
I keep coming back to you.
Torn between the light and darkness,
drawn to the light,
lost in the darkness.
I don't know what to do,
too afraid to get close,
too afraid to stay alone.
Losing all hope
of ever being saved.
Losing sight of you,
swallowed by the darkness,
vanishing with the light.
Looking in the darkness,
looking for the light.
Seeing only darkness,
still and black as night...
