In a world where love was light
My life was dark
Driven by unseen demons.
Haunted by hissing shadows
Even my fantasies deserted me
My dreams and hopes as well.
And no one wanted to come near
To the child of darkness
Preferring to bask in the light.
That suited me, I didn't want them
Putting false hopes in my head.
But after a while, something changed
And I might have had the strength
To banish the darkness
And welcome the light.
But now the light seemed harsh
Far too bright and probing
And the shadows that had haunted me
Now provided a welcome defense
Against the light that knew too much
And sometime I made a choice
I chose the darkness over the light.
But one day, a single ray of light
Made its way into the dark
And this light was gentle and loving
But most of all, it found me.
Slowly I was drawn out of the shadows
And to this ray of light.
At the end, or perhaps the beginning, I found you.
Sometime in my life I knew you'd save me
Perhaps not now
For the light still seemed harsh
But sometime in my life
I'd make another choice
And let you into my heart
So you could turn all
my darkness To light
