My life, it is darkness.

I can’t see the light.

No sense of appearance.

My day’s just as night.

The joys I once knew

Of your beautiful face

I no longer partake

As my eyes sight evade.

But as I drift off,

As I so often do,

Time starts to creep

As sweet dreams I view.

My mind comes awake

As I drift off to sleep.

Though my eyes passed,

They’re alive in my dreams.

All I once knew

Before the knight fell

Comes back to me,

My wishes to fill.

If only a dream

Could somehow come true

I would manage to be with

And see you too.

But I know I cannot,

For my eyes chose to give.

So I see you not

As my life I live.

Yet still I have dreams,

And in them have you

Which, without the darkness

Would be less of a view.
