Listen all and listen well

For I have a sad, sad tale to tell

of love and darkness, yes it's true

They can co-exist for me and you

You see, I once had a love so real

who showed me the depths of all I could feel

But he left this earth some time ago

and Darkness arose from down below

It tried to replace the love I had known,

and every kindness I'd been shown,

with pain and fear and hurt and hate

Until I could no longer contemplate

living a life which was empty and black

I knew that I was under a relentless attack

Darkness haunted me in my dreams

until my soul erupted in screams

Then the day came when I could fight it no more,

and I escaped to this bleak and distant shore

So here I live in fear of the return

of the darkness that caused love to no longer burn

A faint memory remains of the love I did cherish,

but mostly, how darkness caused it to perish
