For a long time, the night had become my only company.
I had been trapped in the eeriness of a silver moon.
A starless sky, the kind of comfort that was cruel and harsh,
I hated the darkness, but I was alone and foreign to the daylight.
The abyss of an ending more like home.
One foot over the edge of suffering.
And then there was you.
A delicate trail of sunlight amongst the shadow of desperation.
A soft glow in a shivering stance.
My sun to battle my nights.
I did not realise at the time that the rooms were getting brighter
.I did not realise how much i needed the light.
I used to be lost and lonely,
And then the warmth of you healed the cold of me
and the hug of your voice said:
“We’ll be alright.”
