You held the shadows
where my sadness chose to lay.
You were the empty train track
accompanied by fog-
not the passengers
heading out
for a journey that day.
Giving me space.
You were the hope in a family photograph
saved after the house burnt down.
You were the only phone call
when no-one else
was around.
You were the darkness
where the shadows chose to lay
you were the last train
to depart with one passenger that day.
She cried "my foreboden heart,
and it "didn't love enough" as he would say."
But he loved her endlessly, anyway.
You were the old photographs
where everything appeared alright.
The light in the darkness
signaling my way.
But you are no longer
the person I call at night.
Now my strength
and faith
have accompanied me, just with time
letting me know it's because of light
that a little darkness
is just fine.
