Light From Shadow

A life of darkness was nothing to you

As you cut it away with your smile

A light so bright that I was left there to marvel

That something like you could come from something like me

Endless hours of dreading the moment

That you would be left to my corrupting touch

Done away in an instant as I realized that it was I who was at your mercy

A light that I had thought could not find me

Lost in my shadows as I was

That was nothing to you as you reached out

And pulled me into the world I dared not dream about
