The light that once surrounded the room in gone
It happened when you walked in while they played our song
You took the light and consumed it for your own pleasure and needs
Much like how you used to do to me
You took all the illuminacity I could give
I promised it was only because you said you needed it to live
That the darkness that haunted you was too dark and scary
And that the light was the only thing that made you feel safe
That I was the only person who made you feel this way
Drunk on dark desires
Hell bent on starting passionate fires
God I loved you wild
But let's be honest I was nothing more than a child
I looked at you through my big brown eyes
Eyes that never saw the gray in the sky
So full of life and pure
Oh how I loved you I never doubted I always knew for sure
But as time passed on and you moved farther away
I couldn't help but long for those days
The ones where darkness consumed you
And you longed for me to get you through
Little did you know it was both of us in the dark place
The only difference was, I gave you my only flashlight so that you would feel safe
