Show Me Your Darkness

Darkness left me feeling empty

By its blank hollow vastness

The cold lonely feeling over me

Drowning me from its emptiness


In the darkness I got to live

Without anything to feel

And ought to believe

That true love might not be real


And in the darkness there you came

With a spark I first felt this feeling

That flicker of light and flame

Keeping me warm and living


You've first shown me your light

And guided me to jump and fall

That kept me through the night

With my back against the wall


My heart was left shattered

By a thousand cuts and torn

But as butterflies fluttered

I knew a true love was born


Light is easy to love they say

So you've shown me your darkness

And came to love you more day by day

Saving me from my emptiness


I came to love your light

Along with your darkness

Embracing me through the night

Loving all of me and my brokenness


Fixing the broken pieces

Have my broken bones mending

Taking me to places

Giving me my happy ending


You've shown me light and darkness

That gave me reasons to fall and believe

Once more in true love and completeness

As you vowed to stay and never leave


By my side, you stood by me

Thawing my frozen heart

By your side is where I want to be

And we'll never be apart
