I know darkness, it is a dear lover,
I know cold, it is and old companion,
I know hopelessness, so close it hovers,
I know the void, like a vast empty canyon…
I have walked for a lifetime in the dark,
I have refused to give up and die,
I have survived the worst fears of the dark,
I have sacrificed many and bid them goodbye…
I thought I was alone, I knew it to be so,
I thought I would fade, it was only a matter of time,
I thought I couldn’t take it, I could not sink that low,
I thought it was hopeless and that was the ultimate crime…
I saw you once, and I had to look twice,
I saw your eyes, but the pain within was my own,
I saw you ask for it, willing to pay a price,
I saw you, and knew the seed was sown…
I had you in a week, or maybe it was an hour,
I had no sense of time, everything stretched forever,
I had never felt this surge, this raw sense of power,
I had never known strength that could cause love so tender…
I owned your body, but you gifted me your soul,
I owned my life, but you brought it alive,
I owned my pride, but you made it whole,
I owned my heartfelt forest, and you made it thrive…
Some might think I was the gift to you, but you were a gift to me,
Some might think I was whole, but it was you,
Some might say the master is the stronger, but they don’t see,
Some might say, but that doesn’t that some are true…
I thank you for life, I thank you for love,
Though you serve me, we know that it is you I serve,
I thank you for so much, for being the gift from above,
Though you are mine, the line between is such a curve…
I know now you rest, though I shall always miss you,
I know now I can live, though you are gone,
I know now your gift, I know now what you knew,
I know that even now, there is light because of every new dawn...
