Dark Angel

Let me embark.
With the help of the dark.
Take my head.
And calm the dread.

Lay me down.
Before I drown.
In the quiet so deep.
And let me weep.

Hide my yearning.
For love still burning.
And the things I cannot be.
This is my plea.

Keep my mind from constant turning.
And the yearning.
For things I cannot see.
Or ever hope to be.

Darkness.
Erase the sadness.
Let me sleep.
And no longer weep.

I have felt the sword of sadness.
Hiding behind the shield of madness.
Protect me with endless night.
Let the dark be my right.

Take my hand.
For this is not what I planned.
Let me sleep.
In the silence of your deep.

Take the pain of knowing.
And fill the emptiness that’s growing.
With the love of a new day.
And a new way.

Life goes on.
And the pain will be gone.
The emptiness filled.
A new life to build.

The darkness brought you healing.
When all your senses were reeling.
The dawn brings a new day.
Now is the time to find a new way.
