Here I lay in my
bed, lying alone I look forward to hold the one I shall wed. I lay, feeling
pain. Pain that I know will stain in my mind. I am blind, blinded by my
thoughts, consumed by my fears, and holding in my tears. The one who I hold
dear is what I fear to lose. As much as I fear Death, he can take my last
breath, but only if my love will still be mine as I watch from above. I am
alone, trapped in utter darkness, but the cause of these tears is only traced to
my fears. The dark no longer scares me, it shares with me its space to where I can
unlace. I cry thinking why my mind will only find thoughts of such fear. In the
dark I am helped. No one can see my cry, or anyone to ask why. I am pained, I've been broken, but I know I will survive. Until I have my wed, I lay in my bed
with my dear old friend. So as I sob, worrying for my knob to be turned open, I
am held by the miraculous Darkness, my dear old friend.
