Your Dark Places

I went into those dark places.

My small flame never doing much to illuminate our way

But I stayed.

I clung to your hand,

as we approached the ghosts

And covered your eyes

when the leathery wings of your Demons came into view

They embraced you and

You let them.

Then you were gone.

And I was alone in the dark

with my tiny flame

Holding safe space for you

As long as my tiny flame can
