The Tears In The Darkness

In the hour of darkness, you woke me,
You inspired me to sit there, awake,
We struggled, we talked and I cried,
Trying, my shell of ego, to break.

At first, I remained persistent,
I clung to the old, fading mask,
But with time and tears, you won over,
By the many questions you'd ask.

With each answer I sobbed, it dawned,
That you were easing my soul into peace,
You rescued it from the sea of confusion,
And from longing, you gave it release.

Through all the tears in the darkness,
I admitted what you already knew,
I wept, that behind all this courage,
I was desperately craving for you.

Those that  usurped your place in my heart,
Began to flow out with my tears,
And my heart began to fill with your love,
Like never, in these solitary years.

In the darkness, my tears were a blessing,
For, after crying, I could finally see,
And in my soul full of thanks, a fire had ignited,
A light- a reason to be.
