In the darkness, I’m afraid.

The unknown, the storm that might linger, 

the clouds blocking the light.

This darkness haunts me.

It clouds my senses, makes me pale and faint.

Turn the light on.

I can’t breathe in the dark.

.

In the darkness, when everything feels so new,

the taste of unfamiliarity fills me. 

It fills my soul. My heart races. 

I can’t contain your palate,

trying to break free.

I run my tongue along your depth, nibbling for a hint.

Turn the light on.

I can’t taste you in the dark.

.

Your scent is one that’s grown with me.

Your smell is thick. It defines you.

And while I feel the comfort of your presence,

the mundane spoor scratches my back,

leaving scars, both new and old.

Turn the light on.

I can’t smell you in the dark.

.

Like an old piece of silk,

from the inside of a bag that has crossed the world,

your touch is sometimes soft,

but often cuts me to the bone.

The blood leaves a stain that no amount

of cold tears can remove.

Turn the light on.

I can’t feel you in the dark.

.

Sounds of scenes from days long gone,

fill my head and create movies without color.

I close my eyes, and strain to hear

the words of love expressed.

The promises of a forever wish.

The dreams shared, a lover’s soundtrack 

playing on a loop.

Turn the light on.

I can’t hear you in the dark.

.

Our souls are fused with time and tears.

You know my hopes, my dreams, my fears,

and feed me with your love.

My heart dares not beat without yours,

and I won’t meet my life without you.

Turn the light on.

I can’t see you in the dark.

.

The darkness is your void.

It’s a life lived alone, without love,

and laughter and hope.

It’s a soul denied its one true mate,

And forced to navigate blind.

Turn the light on.

I can’t live without your heart.
