Poem
I am the one crying in the night I am the one you thought took flight You thought I left, never to return I just took a break from the torturous burn I retreated to my cave of quiet travail, where the sirens do not wail and the wind doesn't blow Where all is silent and no one wants to go, Where tears lay heaping up in piles, Where songs and dreams are deeply filed... The place within where you never thought to withdraw Where we all wish we could be and stand in awe. You didn't know where to find me or where I went You thought the love you shared was gone and spent And really it wasn't gone but used as an investment In new tent pegs especially for my tent. I am the one whose tears have stained the path Whose love has lingered even when it was thought past, Whose heart beats willingly beside those it does not know Who only wants to share life and love to help others grow I am the one you have always wanted to hate The one you dare not seek out, because of uncertain fate I am the one you must seek to find Yet I am the one that will not leave you behind I am the one that calls to you in the night The one who watches you as you take flight As you run into the darkness, you are not out of my sight And I always will be with you and make everything alright I am the one you yearn for so deep I am the one that makes you to weep The one who plays on the strings of your heart I have been with you from the start. I went with you into your cave The darkness there could not stay Because in the middle of the deepest darkness night That's where I am seen most, as the brightest light.
