A found poem written for my wife who is currently on a bit of a downward spiral, I hope and pray that she doesn’t find herself hospitalized again. Marriage can be challenging, marriage to a very unstable person is even more so. And yet here we are, about to celebrate 10 years married. I pray that there is more than 10 more. I wish she was able to find balance in her head, I deal with my own demons and yet God gives me the grace to lay them aside to be her rock.
Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too
And though you don't ask for pity
There's nothin' that you can do
A dark light, a darkness never ending
A dark light, the devil gets his due
A dark night, is everywhere descending
A dark light, is coming for you
Though you may be pure of heart and free of sin
And though you have been chosen to begin
And yet you must be worthy of the prophecy
But seek and you shall find your destiny
If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for our first "Hello"
We'd never have to say goodbye
Ooh, remember when you smile so bright
Raise my heart up to my throat
Ooh, sure took hard times to drag me down
So darlin' brighten up all of my hopes
You still matter to me
And that's the only reason I need to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
Everybody's got a reason to live, baby
Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside
It hurts so much inside, your telling me goodbye
You want to be free
And knowin' that you're gone and leavin' me behind
I gotta make you see, gotta make you see
I gotta make you see
That I still love you, I love you
I really, I really love you, I still love you
Darkness will fall on the city
a darkness never ending
Though you may be pure of heart and free of sin
I'd never have seen you cry
Raise my heart up to my throat
You still matter to me
Everybody's got a reason to live
I gotta make you see
That I still love you
