Heart Of The Matter
It Was There I Found You ...
~ often, what is in the shadow is your greatest light ~ anon
It was there I found you,
Dark and sinister,
Brooding and melancholy,
A dingy smoke filled room,
For dingy smoke filled people,
It was there I found you,
Lost and stupefied,
By tarnished golden nectar,
Brazen and bold,
Staring defiantly,
And cold.
It was there I found you,
Weakened by desire,
And want, and need,
A light shone through,
The chink in your armour,
And a slither of your soul,
Exposed in my presence,
Laid bare,
For all those who cared,
To see.
It was there I found you,
And power was mine,
Through gentleness and love,
And complete acceptance,
Of your many human failings,
Yes,
It was there I found you,
In a dingy smoke filled room,
I won the battle,
Only to lose my heart,
Evermore.
