In the Dark

I've lived for so long in the dark
That you blind me with your light
I got so used to the blistering cold
And the quiet lonely nights
Now you've come to give me sight
And save me from this madness,
Yet in my heart I know it's not
But an illusion of my sadness
I yearn for you and all your love,
Your kindness and devotion
I've waited for so many years
I've lost all my emotion
But you and all your empathy
Have sparked my fading soul
Reanimated all of me
And made me feel so whole
