Children of the Night
In the darkness
I found you there
Hiding your tears,
From the world.
You shied away from the light,
As well as my approach
Curling in upon yourself
Expecting some painful blow.
Softly I begin speaking to you
Assuring you of things that even I can’t promise.
You shout at me
Cursing my existence
And tears spring to my eyes.
I kneel beside you then
Pulling you into my embrace
Despite your struggles,
And together we shy away from the light
Hiding our tears from the world,
As together we hide in the darkness,
Two lost children of the night.
