There’s a love for those that I hold dear
It is my one last spark and greatest treasure
As the wind’s blowing turns severe
I shield my hope’s last dying ember
This dance we dance can oft be confusing
But I am just as lost as you
Whatever thoughts this madness brings
I swear my promises will always hold true.
I’m still the same person, can you not see?
Only now they like to call me insane
But no matter the dark I will always be me
For my sake will you stay in the game?
I say don’t run from me this time
But beg beware me tomorrow
I swear this bout I’ll hold the line
Even in the depths of sorrow.
Deep in the night it’s me and my tablets
Pills do little but talking does less
My strength of will is what I have left
My madness will grant me little rest.
The moon will return to its home, the night
Its silent presence greatly comforting
Though it may hide and slip out of sight
And I lose myself among twisted reasoning
I yearn for light but fear the dawn
Because here in the night I know my place
And the brightness that comes will very soon be gone
It’s only here in the night that I am safe.
The colors dazzle and inspire and amaze
And try to lure me from the shadows
But they also confuse, and mislead, and craze
This lesson I’ve learned: the light will always ebb and flow.
