After Dark

Praying

To anyone who feels unloved.
_______________

Is holding you close
Us being confused
Is this pain I feel a sin?
Are we dancing in the dark,
Tearing away from hope
Trusting our intuition?

Told to follow my path
Told to love what I want
Most don't have love,
The kind of love that 
Extends a hand just to
Make you feel warm

I must be confused
Why else would I cry?
Why else would I be torn?
Why else would I be stuck
Between you and nothing?
I must be a sinner

There's an empty happy
The kind they ask me to feel
They shove us to the ground
Tell us to kneel

And there's this kind of happy
The kind I found in you
In a heart, in a smile
In a 'stay for awhile'

In your voice when you sing
God it must be so wrong
To love someone
When you're afraid

My heart belongs to you
That's the funniest part
When they tell me it's wrong
That I'm 'going to hell'

It doesn't change my mind
Doesn't scare me away
They won't tear me apart
I've found myself here
