Light Melding Into Dark

Somewhere in the shadows,
You stand in judge of me,
Waiting in that secret place
While the light warms only me.

Though time will move the sun,
Or bring the moonlight near,
You never leave the gray of dawn;
You watch in silent fear.

I hear the rising tide;
I feel the change of season;
You beg me to come home to you,
But never give me a reason...

To join you in the darkness,
To leave the sun and light,
To meld into your black heart,
To live in endless night.
