When darkness comes around.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



When the darkness comes. 

When you're lying there, there is know hope to be found. I will kiss your lips and ease your pain. When the darkness comes around. I will be there to light your way, and I will always stay. I will wipe your tears and whisper that I love you in your ear. Please take my hand so that I may understand. I won't run, and I won't hide. I will be forever by your side. When you're weary and feel like dying. I will be there to ease your pain and fears. I can't shed any more tears. All I have left are fears. I think back on all the years you were by my side. I have nothing left inside. All I have is the one teardrop that you left behind.
