Within Eternal Flames

Sun and Moon

Darkness is what I feared

Ever since I was a little girl I use to see all the figures 

Surrounding me

             Suffocating me

I scream into the night and choke on my tears

With their big wide eyes staring blankly into me 

I shiver and cower

I knew just what they wanted to devour

In stillness and heavy breaths

I felt my heart about to burst out of my chest

I sob every night and wished for the visitors to stop staring deep into my soul

But their visits were simply out of my control

As I grew older I'm faced with more hallucinations 

More tears, more unheard screams, more of those extremely desperate pleas 

For someone to save me from this wicked abyss

That is when you made your entrance

Suddenly I fell into your spell of purified bliss

I no longer needed to fear those unmanly beings I always encountered

That forbidden smile that you possessed 

Shockingly relieved me from all of my stress

Though I have only known it for such a short time

It keeps me up at night and fills my being

With enchanting lullabies and beautiful butterflies

The figures fade and here I remain

Alas, I am warm and safe

Though you aren't mine

I hope for the best 

For now I can feel what lies deep within my chest

From the moment I fell into your arms 

I never wanted to part

I knew you had felt that healing spark

Wounds that remained open for years

Have been healed with your pure soul

And with your soul that also grew bright

You used as a torch in the night

        To guide my way

No longer will darkness drag me out of bed and bash into my head

Trust me when I say this but I would rather be dead

Than to be in constant fear of ever closing my eyes

Isn't it crazy, my love?

You are the sun and I, the moon

Please don't be gone anytime soon

My instincts were right all along

You are becoming my lover
     
 And now 

         my knight in shining armor
