It called itself darkness

It called itself darkness

Lingering cold and cleverly vicious

It stood there by a horizon that felt too near

And the world was shrinking

Now it’s only that and me

Now it’s only that

It called itself darkness and I knew what would come

It had been there before

Then gone but never really left

I stroke the streets with my thoughts and paced myself

“It all comes down to this” i wondered

me and it

me walking

it following

it called itself darkness and I no longer had a name

we had met before

I slowly lost my sense of being

Whatever comes after this will leave me long gone

“slowly” I thought

then only me and it

then me

and only darkness

we have never been parted

I long for he who will take me home

I long for that moment when he sees my face

I will smile and he will take my hand

The horizon will never seem too far away

The land will touch the sea

the sun kiss, gently kiss the water a million times

he will kneel down and pick up a handful of sand

he will pour and it will run between my fingers

this was your life, this was also mine

where you walked I have also been

as the grain is a part of the beach

so was I a part of your life

through all of the time that passed

we have never been parted
