Chapter 2 - As The Light Dims

As The Light Dims

By, Christina Heaton



I walk in the darkness

Pretending that you're here

Pretending that you really love me

I know you're not really there

But I talk anyway

I talk to the darkness before me

But it makes my heart ache to speak

Even worse than it already does



I wish that you were here

Walking with your arm around my waist

I wish that you'd really love me

So that I may take some comfort in the dark



When I look at you from a distance

I see nothing but hearts around your face

When you talk to me face to face

I can't help but stare into your eyes

When you hug me in your gentle embrace

I feel the warmth of your body engulf me

But then you go away

And alone I am again



I know that you're not here

Walking with your arm around my waist

And I know that you'd never really love me

So I can't take some comfort in the dark



Now alone in the darkness of my life

I am engulfed with problems left and right

I can talk to you about it, my dear friend

And then my heart will mend

When another bad thing happens

You'd be here by my side within minutes

So I could take in the comfort

But in the end, you still won't love me in the way I want



But I still wish that you were here

Walking with your arm around my waist

And I still wish that you'd really love me

So that I may take come comfort in the dark.
