The Light of Love

You light the light

That binds me internally 

You light up my darkest hours

That frightens me to death 

Throughout my every day to day

Through your light I am able to see

It blinds me to the world around me

It warms my soul and heart 

Keeps me alive my demons at bay

For if you light should ever be taken

Or worse of all be extinguished go away

Never how shall I again see let alone be able

Nor wish to face another day

Due to this reason if nothing else

Without your light

How on earth would I be then able

To look you in the eye

Or see your face

If this scenario was to ever come true

Or be a my living waking reality

I would rather choose to be dead

Without you and the light

You only yourself provide
