Light in the Dark Room

In a dark room there is hope,

Strangled with the heavy ropes of sorrow.

Something in my chest caves in,

My heart is out of place, and I'm filled with such woe.

My mind is disorganized,

A tangled mess of thoughts and pain.

A thousand voices screaming in my head,

It's hard to find balance without feeling insane.

But as I sit here in the darkness,

I grasp the glimmer of a ray of light.

It seeps through my fingers, bleeding from my chest,

And it brightens up the room, cracks up a smile so bright.

In a dark room it is light,

Today, it is you, my dear.

Your touch, your warmth, your love,

Chase away the darkness and calm all my fear.

Your presence is a beacon of hope,

A guiding star in the midst of the storm.

A hand to hold when I feel lost,

A shoulder to rest on, and a heart so warm.

With you by my side, I can face anything,

Even the darkest nights and the heaviest pain.

Your love is a light that never goes out,

Guiding me to a brighter tomorrow, free from any disdain.

So in this dark room, I smile,

Thanks to the light you bring.

And though the struggles will come and go,

With you, my love, my heart shall always sing.
