To Lose My Light

© Julie Ruffell

My life was once buried in darkness
I was once cold and all alone
I bathed in other's blood

My sword has met with many blades
But more flesh has it touched
The dead were at my feet

But the Light shot into my darkness
The Light opened up my heart
And the innocent blood no longer flows

Yet now my Light has left me
My Light died so I could live
But how can I do good?

My Light was my guide
Without her, how can I know the way?
I want to return to my darkness

Why did my Light die instead of me?
Didn't my Light know that without her
I might as well be dead?
