Night comes for me throughout the day
And closes my external door.
I know that I am in for more
Unhappiness, and yet I stay.
The pain of missing you is less
Than that of missing thoughts of you.
And so I’d rather suffer through
This torture than face emptiness.
I want you with me, even though
You’re not with me. You are the light
That gets me through this awful night
Yet brings the darkness where I go.
