In the dark of the night i come out and the moon is bright. All the stars sparkling like the lights of your eyes. The dark comforts me as it curls around me. The sound of the wind brings the past to my mind. Nights i used to go wandering through the dark abyss alone with my thoughts. The nights when my life was nothing but a constant nightmare, one that i wish would end. Life is not that simple though. My dreams would fill with nothing other than shadows, not the comforting ones i would long for just those that i would wake screaming to. No one to be there to keep me sane, just my demons waiting for an opening. On nights like these, i would long for someone willing to be there even if it is only to ask if i am alright, anything, but there was no one. The ghosts of my past haunted me until the point of insanity. I longed for the end just so i could have peace of mind.
One night i had a waking nightmare and i went for a walk, hoping for a moment just a moment of peace. I made it through the woods somehow to the ledge above the ravine and i saw a figure looking up at me from below. It was you. You who had eluded me for so long always a figure in the shadows to which i could never enter. I never thought you were real until that moment when our eyes met, and then i felt a glimmer of hope something i had not felt in so long i had forgotten what it feels like. I looked to the night skies for a moment to thank the stars and when i looked back you were gone. My light of hope extinguished like a candle in the wind. I turned and there you were behind me linguring jsut watching me like i was the only person in the world who mattered. When i did not run you came closer and asked why i stood gazing in pain at the ravine. I asked why you were in the ravine and you spoke so quietly i almost did not hear you. You told me you felt a pain so deep that every night it drove you to the ravine just for peace of mind and only at night and in the ravine did it ease the suffering. Then tonight when you saw me did it clear completely you saw the pain i was in and knew i was the cause of the pain you felt. The suffering i felt was yours as well.
You looked at me as if you had never seen anyone so clearly before. We bonded on a level i never thought possible. In that one moment, we only looked at each other and i knew not on what level but in some way you were my lifeline to this world...
