Afraid of the dark

Most comforting talks, when we whisper at night
You take the most broken and mend them alright
Celestial embrace in darkness that has calmed
My thundering heart simply beats softly
It's dark again.
I used to pray
I used to say it was all pretend
Then no one was watching.
The lights went out
My body was sucked away
I couldn't go back
I shouldn't go back
I close my eyes.
Feeling the dark closing in, all hope is being lost.
From now until then, I pray at all cost.
Heart beating fast, I just want this to end.
Breathing in deep, as I try to pretend.
