So bright and so brilliant
Illuminating the night sky
With abundant radiance
Within the shifting phases
I look to you for guidance
When my darkness overwhelms me
As the night becomes my home
Away from tortured places
Your face is cast in shadows
When the sun eludes you
And your happiness is gone
Your persistence still amazes
Hearing all the horrid words
Against our beauty
Against our love
As they pour from ugly faces
You are my safe place
You are my home
Where I rest my head
And loosen my laces
Holding me tight
Against the night
It is your love
My heart embraces
