you, in the wilderness of the night-
your darkness, it surrounds my light.
but from my shallow view,
there is a comforting depth to you.
you hold in silence the words
i could but explain to your ears-
you, who are not disturbed
by my deepest fears.
you feel me, as i'm suffocating in
the bright blinding light of day-
you are my inner soul,
my tortured pathway.
quiet into the depths of night
as i escape in you.
wrap myself in you.
rape myself in you.
free myself in you.

the night is long,
the path is dark.
the soul, ever strong
will guide me through-
as i will emerge to another day
and pray
for the night to return.
