Heart... and Everything Else of Darkness

Wires bossed
Ripped and torn
Forsaken, forlorn
Loss

But in the dark
For more than a second
What’s dreaded?
If you are who you are
Naked

Status lost
Reputation
In what nation
Loss

But in the dark
To them
Her or him
If you are who you are
Even in sin

Lines crossed
Dirty, evil, criminal
Seems a minimal
Loss

But in the dark
Maybe you’re kind
Or just blind
If you are what you are
Be mine

Love cost
Everything
All I am to be
Loss

But in the dark
Not strange
No change
If you are who you are
I’ll say what I need to say

Money tossed
For an hour
The power
Loss

But in the dark
A dream comes true
Me and you
If you are who you are
You can love me too

Just in the dark
For the light
A right
The sight

Of me is too much

Give me you heart
If you are who you are
In the dark
