Hold Me in the Dark

I can’t begin
To tell you where I’ve been
My best sentence lacks the words
For what I learned to see
I meet my death
In each resuming breath
And move to its violent voice
Still calling inside me
Turn down the light
Let go the fight
Before you say goodnight to me
Would you hold me in the dark
We’ll go to sleep
Two divers diving deep
And find with the eels and whales
Sunk schooners in the sand
But would you dare
To scour the wreckage there
And surface with arms too full
For anything w’ve planned
Turn down the light
Lt go the fight
Before you say goodnight to me
Try to know me in the dark
I’ve had forever, now, and never
I’m setting like the pale moon
Before you say goodnight to me
Would you hold me in the dark
Would you hold me in the dark
