darkness and light

the darkness inside me tries to come out
dragging me down into its abyss
fighting it has always been useless
it wins in the end every time
but then a light pierced the gloom
driving back the velvety black
shining joy into the shadowed corners
healing my fragmented soul
there are no words that truly express
the depth of my feelings for you
i hope these pale writings help you
understand the need of you that i have
i hope that you see what you are
the light that drives back the dark
the missing half of my soul, my heart
everything that is true and right in me
found its way out of night because of you
everything i can become, can create
is because of your love, your light
i carry you with me in all that i do
never forget how deeply i love you
never doubt how badly i need you
never question how much i want you
you are everything i never knew i could have
