I've gone as far as I can
alone in the shadows
For her hand
I must risk the cruel light
For love
she must follow me into the velvet darkness
A dream
desired and dreaded
is awakening
Will the music
fill the black holes
of this man
and be enough for her
to care not as a child
but as a woman
She has given me her voice
The rest I will take
one soft
unrelenting
note at a time
