Darkness cradles me too tight
It is my world, eternal evil night
Fear is here, anger and pain
Sorrow driving my heart insane
And like a prayer, tiny light
From my breast my heart fights
My breath catches in my throat
The light grows, a quavering note
A star shines before me, alluring
Beautiful, which I find assuring
And yet terrible, all in one
Glowing waves reach my mind, to stun
In a trance, I reach for the star
It draws back, farther than far
Then it's gone, never to return
I was too slow and for that my heart yearns
The awful darkness is back
Pressing on me 'til I crack
From burning eyes, hot tears fall
The dark returns, I'm in it's thrall
