Don’t leave me in the dark pt2

(whisper)

I thought you were gone forever…

I thought I lost you…

(breath shaking)

But tonight…

I saw you again…

⸻

I was walking through the rain with my head hanging low

Streetlights flicker like the ghosts that I know

Every step felt heavy like the guilt in my bones

Every heartbeat whispering “you’re still alone…”

Then I saw your silhouette under neon light

Same hair in the wind… same eyes in the night

My chest locked up like a gun misfired

All the pain came rushing back hotter than fire

(whisper)

God… it was really you…

You looked at me slow like you knew my soul

Like you seen every lie that I never controlled

Your eyes full of storms, full of hurt and doubt

Like you wanted to scream but the words stayed out

⸻

(whisper)

Baby… please don’t walk away again…

(voice shaking)

I swear I’ve been dying every night since you left

⸻

BABY WAIT — DON’T TURN YOUR FACE FROM ME!!

I’VE BEEN LOST IN THE DARK SINCE YOU SET ME FREE!!

I KNOW I FUCKED UP — I KNOW I DID YOU WRONG

BUT I’VE BEEN SCREAMING YOUR NAME IN EVERY SONG!!

(voice cracking)

Baby please… just hear me tonight…

⸻

You said “Why should I trust anything that you say?”

Your voice cut deep but I deserved that pain

I saw the tears in your eyes you were tryna hide

Like the love was still there but it barely survived

So I dropped to my knees in the cold wet street

Didn’t care who was watching or laughing at me

Cause the pride that I had is already dead

And the only thing left is the truth I said

I said

“I was stupid… selfish… blind to your heart

I broke the only thing that kept me from dark

But if there’s one last spark in the love we made

I’ll spend my whole life fixing every mistake…”

(whisper)

Every single one…

⸻

The rain started falling on your face and mine

Your mascara running like the hands of time

You looked at me shaking… breathing slow

(soft whisper)

And you said…

“I never stopped loving you…”

⸻

MY HEART DAMN NEAR BURST IN MY CHEST RIGHT THERE!!

ALL THE PAIN AND REGRET FILLED THE NIGHT AIR!!

I PULLED YOU CLOSE LIKE I WAS HOLDING MY LIFE

LIKE I ALMOST LOST YOU FOREVER THAT NIGHT!!

(voice breaking)

God… I almost lost you…

⸻

BABY STAY — DON’T LET THIS LOVE DIE AGAIN!!

WE’VE BEEN WALKING THROUGH FIRE AND SIN!!

I KNOW I FUCKED UP — I KNOW I DID YOU WRONG

BUT TONIGHT WE’RE REWRITING OUR BROKEN SONG!!

(whisper)

Baby… thank you…

For giving me one more chance… 🖤

⸻

The rain stopped falling…

Your hand in mine…

And for the first time since you left…

The dark…

didn’t feel so cold anymore. 🌙
