Dark Prince

For as long as I can remember

The night has been my friend

My solace

My passion

My comfort

When life is closing in

I walk beneath the stars

I imagine you just out of reach

Silent words begin to flow out

As my soul you proceed to breach

I tell you how I have missed you

Of how I wish you would appear

My prince of hollow darkness

My shadow walking dear

All through life’s pain and sorrow

When the moon would rise above

I would seek out my night companion

I would search for you my love

Never allowed to see your face

I yearn

I crave

I need

The passion only you can bring me

My lovers fantasy

Oh how I wish to see your face

Or hear you say my name

The secrecy tears me apart

My soul you are here to claim

I close my eyes and feel you there

A lost shadow in the night

Only to vanish just as quickly

with the dawning of mornings light
