I always thought I’d be the one,
To be your calm when you came undone,
To hold your hand,
To warm your heart,
A seam too strong to pull apart.

But you retreat into a world existing,
Where darkness always seems persisting,
Releasing the nefarious,
To slink through your head,
So thoughts of uncertainty, they stay well fed.

And I try and I try to rein you in,
Make sunsets dance across your skin,
But lightless gravity,
Is at times too much,
And you slip away from my feeble clutch.

Maybe I’m the fool to risk my heart breaking,
But I somehow can’t leave this love forsaken,
So I’ll sit with you in the dark,
I vow to never be done,
Until I find that way to stay your one.
