Darkness

My light is gone and all I see
Is the darkness consuming me

Your light went out and so did mine
The days have become meaningless

All I do is sit and despair
I keep you company as I sit beside you

I talk to you and read to you
But you cannot hear me

The rain comes and soaks me through
But still I sit beside you

One day the darkness will finally take over
But that won't happen, not yet

Not until they lay me to rest
Right beside you
