mine

hello, darkness

I embrace you with kindness

I touch your heart gently

as the ground shakes and swallows me up

I don’t fight your strong arms

I let you run your fingers down my spine

your kiss is madness

yet it soothes my senses

your love may seem cold to others

yet it warms my insides

I embrace the darkness

because it’s a part of you

I pull you closer

because I feel the light breaking through

it lights my path

as I stumble with each step

what you have

makes me whole

so come closer

yes, closer

I do not fear the bad in you

I accept this pleasure

and take my time

so I can experience

all of the good

that you always hold back

but baby, I got time

and I see all of you

even when darkness pretends

to cover it up

I fear nothing

when you hold me close

My sweet savior

with a black soul

but darling haven’t you heard?

black is the new white

so let’s share this light

as you hold me close

because I am yours

and you are mine

come closer

yes, closer
