Darkness, my Friend

It's dark and it's quiet
Yet I hear your voice
And see your face
My dreams only tell lies
But this isn't a dream
It's too alive

I feel your spirit
And know you're here,
But you can't be,
Because long ago
You left me

It wasn't your fault,
Nor was it mine
Still, you left me,
Alone to cry.

You didn't want to go,
And you struggled to hold on.
My friend was lonely, though,
So he took you,
And now you're gone.

I know he didn't mean it
Because death wouldn't hurt me
But when he took you,
He nearly killed me

I tried to move on,
Find someone new--
But no one
Was ever as good as you

You were everything
No one could compare
When it came to you
I'd never share
That's why he took you
Because he was left out
I used to love death
But now I love you

Now, though I try,
I can't hold on
And so
I'm saying farewell
Before my death's dawn.
