Keeper

I stand alone
a child of night
bound by light
kept to the darkness
by that which
holds me captive
embracing me into
its dark folds
like a mother
comforting a child
I am serene
safe in this
desolated, empty place
utterly alone, with no fear
bring to me the knowledge
that I must know
to do your bidding
and I will love you forever
keeper of my secrets

I've been in this desolate place..
I too know the comfort it can bring, thank you for bringing words to my own deepest fears that hide in the dark.
