Tight ropes encircle me, pulling me in a breathless embrace.

I hide in the dark accepting my fate.

You linger in the shadows, your presence soothes me.

I'm bound by words and actions are impossible.

I pray to darkness to cover my flaws.

I tremble faced with the possibility of light.

I choose candlelight, is always more gracious than

 the revealing stone cold truth of sunlight.

I don't suffer in obscurity, in darkness I conceal my mischief,

I feel at ease.

Virtue lies in the shadows of light and words are my glow.
