I used to think
Darkness was my friend.
Because it would
Hide the scars.
The scars
On my heart,
The scars
On my soul.
The darkness was my friend.
But I could not see
All the damage
I was doing to me.
All the anger,
All the pain.
Nothing but clouds,
Nothing but rain.
It would cut even deeper,
Cause even more pain.
So I built a wall
Strong and tall.
To keep everything out,
And protect from all.
But one day
The sun came out
And broke through the wall.
My eyes are clear,
I stand tall.
The day you said,
“I love you,”
That day
The darkness died.
