Even alone, I have company.
My old friend has returned,
Filling the void with nothing.
I saw him approaching,
And welcomed him with arms outstretched.
It had been a while.
I can feel his gentle touch,
Cool as it barely grazes my heart.
I can't resist.
I wait for him to lead me away.
Again I must say goodbye to the light,
As I curl into his arms.
Here in the dark I lie.
And both a comfort and unnerving,
The silence is deafening.
