A Dark Place
Take me to a dark place
Where we can stay for a while
Let’s sit and talk for a while
About nothing
And everything
Take me to a dark place
Somewhere I can think
Let me be
Alone
And with you
Take me to my dark place
The place I can be me
Without hiding myself behind a mask
Where I can talk to you
To my heart’s content
Take me to a dark place
A place with no limits
A place with nothing I need to do
Where I can be free
With you
Take me to a dark place
The only place we can meet
Leave out all the words
We don’t need them to speak
Take me to a dark place
A place we’ve come to love
But as I tell you I find
My words have turned to knives
Piercing you
Killing you
That’s when I find
The place I’ve gone
The place I’ve been
The dark place where we walk
Just along the line of reality and dreams
My place
A dark place
Is tearing me
Torn between the two
Of what is
And you
Just before I tear the knives from your flesh
I lean in to meet your lips
The lips of the person
My beloved
My guide in the dark place we’ve created
The only person standing beside me
Walking with me
When nobody encouraged me
Being killed by me
I kiss you farewell in my dark place
And tear the knives from your skin
Realizing, that what was hurting was not you
But me
Then all shatters
I realize you were just a dream
Now I’m alone again
Lost in reality
Being forced to give more than I have
And I would gladly give it all
To just see you once more
In a dark place
As I cut my wrists
I can feel the life dripping down
Landing on the floor
Coloring it with red, the color of life
I watch it drip
Down onto the carpet
As I cut deeper
Things become blurred
But then, shining bright
I see you
Take me to a dark place
One last time
Take me to a dark place
It’ll even be fine
If I can’t go back to reality
Take me to our dark place
Hold me in your arms
Whisper words of comfort
Keep me safe from harm
And as I close my eyes
For one last time
Take me to a dark place
Never let me leave
