If There Isn’t Enough Light for You
If there isn’t enough light for you,
take me.
That I may be night, a night that burns away
to bring you day.
And if there isn’t enough love for you,
take me.
I will dig out the pupils in the eyes of the night
that you mirror a star and shine.
If there isn’t enough hate for you,
even then, take me.
Hell is weaving beneath my heart
a hell for all eternity.
If there isn’t enough light for you,
take me.
But if there isn’t enough me for you,
what am I to you?
Except that I gaze at you endlessly,
except that I burn away.
