The Dark and The Pearl

The night falls sooner everyday

and we're left alone in the dark.

I don't always know what to say

when she sits by me in the park.

But around us sings the crickets and birds,

and I don't know why they're still awake.

And even though I have no words,

I believe every promise we make.

'Cause the night can't hide my pearl.

And I've got my girl.

If it feels like we're falling apart,

I'll just hold on more tightly and give her my heart.

The world is pressing into me

and bringing us all this pain.

But someday I'll get down on one knee

and then finally explain.

It's taken a while to get to this moment,

and I don't want to waste it at all.

So capture the feelings and let's fully own it

as we head into the nightfall.

'Cause the night can't ever hide my pearl

and I've always got my girl.

If it feels like we're falling to pieces

then the love we share increases.

It's a world we share and a world that won't care

if we all fall apart.

So I'll hold her closer and stroke her hair

'cause this is our only start.

It's a dangerous, beautiful world

but she'll always be my girl.

And no matter how shattered and hurled,

she'll always be my pearl.

And the night can't hide my pearl-

It's a dangerous, beautiful world-

and I'll never lose my girl.

So no matter how shattered and hurled,

no matter how cracked and hurt,

she'll always be my world.

This is so cute. My favourite thing about it is that it still holds your voice, with the touch of gothic feeling. Really well written!

Beautiful and hopeful poetry my friend.
"It's a dangerous, beautiful world
but she'll always be my girl.
And no matter how shattered and hurled,
she'll always be my pearl."

Awe, another sweet sincere one. Well I was reading it, it almost seemed as if it were meant to be song lyrics. I'm not sure if that is what you were aiming for, but it would be a nice song.
