​Afraid Of The Dark

Afraid Of The Dark

My gifts to you were wrapped in every stolen kiss, sombre embrace, in every sincere word I gave you,

Your gifts to me were all the things you gave meaning,

Oh how you gave me reason,

You gave me reason to face the void, to embrace the harrowing winds of change, how you gave me the courage to linger in the dark,

For you shared my nights so I never worried of the suns return,

For you brought light under every canopy,

But now the days of recent I fail to manifest such bravery, I question the slightest intent, I render unto fear,

For I now know its truths,

For I no longer face the void no matter how it persists, I no longer tread into adversity despite my ambitions,

Once more, I find myself chasing the dawn on the horizon,

Once more I find myself afraid of the dark.
