If I Am the Morning Star

Take my hand, darling,
You've once told me that I am
The dark nightmare's heaven shine —
Well, you've told me more times
Than you might like to hear
For during those times, your heart
Was a black hole of misery.
But the black hole in yourself, my rose
Will never be enough to drown out the light
That I wish to impart to you.

Take my hand, darling,
And I will ensure that you never 
Drown in the ocean of doubt again.
You will never again
Find yourself with a bottle of pills
And a final note in your hands.

Take my hand, darling,
If you call me your starlight,
Then allow me to impart to you the hope,
The joy, the faith,
The light,
That you yourself instilled in me.
Allow me to ignite in you the
Flame of life again.

Take my hand, darling,
If I really am the stellar light you say I am,
If I really am your morning star.
