Dance In The Dark

I dance all alone in the shadows My feet barely touching the ground Waltzing through the night Lightly thinking, lightly stepping, Hardly breathing at all. My heart beat echoes through the darkness Singing with the beat My eyes glisten as I hear a voice perhaps one that has come to save me from my loneliness. It draws nearer by the second yet with each passing breath it sounds farther away Have you come to dance with me? Or have you brought with you some light? my home is in the darkness. in the shadows of the night. My tears have become my blanket they keep me safe and warm. the thunder, my companion my friend the cold winter storm. This is the world I live in. do not judge me for what am Once strong and proud and hopeful. now weak and worthless and damned. my mirror of truth is broken once I saw a healthy face now cracked and scarred and starved ugly with disgrace. so if, you, voice have come to save me there is one thing that I must warn the task you take is not easy: save my life, no matter how tattered, broken, or worn. and you shall be my saviour... but I will not pray to a god that I don't believe in for the sake of false hope.
