She is the moon to my dark night
adding lightness to guide my path,
like a star to my grey cloud.
I'm the thunder roaring loud,
she the lightning that blinds,
the glue that binds.
I'm the one always trying
to run and hide,
flee from the feelings
I hold inside.
She is the voice
that speaks delicate tones,
I'm the screams that echo
through creaking old bones.
Tread careful weary traveller
her sign would say,
as I bound towards the edge.
And as I sway
ready to fall.
I think.
She would be the hand
that pulls me back from the brink.
She is the voice that sits in my head
when I'm lying awake in my bed.
She is the one that says
just close your eyes,
don't look around in dread.
I know not her name.
I've never seen her face,
just felt her sweet embrace.
If I close my eyes
I sometimes catch a glimpse.
A swaying black dress dancing
in the inky blackness
of the vast empty expanse.
I sometimes hear her voice on the wind
when all the other voices are being unkind.
Is she just a figment of the mind?
Or is she a voice from someplace else
trying to send me a sign?
