Heart of darkness

The daylight now is gone
A darkened cloud where it shone
I feel your ghost on the breeze
A gentle dream I still need

A chill runs down my spine
The moon tells me that it’s time
It’s only now that I see
A heart of darkness for me

I wait for the touch of the night
I write, pen in hand by dim candlelight

I wait for the cut of the knife
It helps turn the wrong into right
I reach for your touch in the night
It’s only now that I see
A heart of darkness for me
