Darkness is my only friend

    Darkness is my only friend
    Darkness is my only friend
    Taking away sight but allowing me to dream
    And dream I do
    Flying away with leaves on the wind
    Or running swift of foot
    Breeze hardly felt
    Or taking the warrior’s stance before goliath
    No fear or intent to flee

    I rise and become in darkness
    My only true friend
    Someone said that come morning I would find joy
    But I’ve been waiting and crying for weeks
    Because so far joy hasn’t been found
    And neither has morning light

    Darkness has been reliable
    Always there
    Ready to receive me
    And I can at least still dream
    Even if there is no joy in the dreaming
