Eternal Flight

I have stains upon my soul
A darkness that follows me
Surrounding me wherever I go
I cannot escape my past deeds
Leaving a trail as my heart bleeds

The darkness of my life waits like death
Knowing that sooner or later it will over take me
As the life is extinguished from my body

You do not care about my past
Looking beyond the man I once was
Seeing only the good that I have become
Judging me not...merely loving me with your heart
I will return that love until death do us part

Light has found a way into my life
Keeping the darkness at bay...hidden in the corners
The light of your love surrounds me

I may someday be swept away in the darkness of my deeds
Until that day, I will be wrapped in light and love
Giving my love to you as you do to me
Wrap your soul around me as day turns to night
Keeping away the darkness of my eternal flight
