'Heart'

(Return of) the Light

The light, the light
It used to shine so bright
Then it dimmed and faded
Disappeared into the night

Once so warm and soothing
Like a tight embrace
The sun, the moon, your gleaming eyes
They gazed onto my face

One day I woke in darkness
The light had slipped away
No longer held in comfort
Night fell upon the day

Cold and lonely were the hallways
In which I roamed for many weeks
Searching for your lost smile
Your rosy, blushing cheeks

Your darkened hair, your subtle skin
The words you spoke so true
Made me want to find the light again
For the light was surely you

My eyes grew used to blackness
Solitude became my soul
Forever doomed to loneliness
Always distant, never whole

Suddenly, a ray of shining sun
Made it so that I could see
A familiar figure in the doorway:
She had returned to me

Slowly I am now waking
Rekindling my will to fight
To protect what truly matters:
Only you....my light....
