Holding On to the Night

Holding on to the night,
Left there by shadows,
The darkness is maddening,
But I cannot touch the light.
If I do I will surely perish,
For the last time I tried, I was burned,
Carried off by shadows, I was weak and alone.
The siren sings to me from the other side,
But I will not obey her.
In my mind the thoughts scream out,
"She will listen to me,
She will see me,
I am the master of my mind."
If that were true,
I would not find myself here,
Back in the light,
Back into love.
