Slow Surrender…

Hello my darkness, 
My old friend. 
Here it is, 3am.
I open my eyes, 
And look around.
Alone, In this silence,
Is all I found.
You and I,
Are finding common ground.
And as I lay here,
In the quietness of this room,
All I hear is the ringing,
In my ears.
While my words echo, 
In my head,
Becoming so clear.
Pushing me through this fear.
As I lay alone, In my bed,
Why must we keep meeting this way?
What is so important, 
That I must say?
What must I do, 
To keep you away?
What must I find, 
In order to convey?
All I want to do is sleep.
To close my eyes, 
And never weep.
The tears that fall,
They are temporary relief.
Of the heartache I feel,
Of not having it all.
Why must you wake me?
Why can't you let me be?
Why won't you, 
Just set me free?
The pain I feel is heavy,
That sits in my chest.
Everyday now, 
It's become so hard to rest.
And no matter how many times I say,
I did my best.
At the end of the day,
You're still here, Waking me.
What must I be learning?
What am I not hearing?
What is it I'm overlooking?
Please, Just guide me.
Show me my way,
Through your darkness.
So I can be at peace again.
Use this silence,
To show me, Where to begin.
I've come so far,
From when we first met.
I know when you're here,
I will find that star.
I surrender, Fight it no more.
Let you flow through me,
And just let it be.
