The night is so dark, it swallows my soul
My heart is long burnt, now a piece of coal
Too long I waited in this air so cruel
They come, they go, but I stay like a fool

Save me from falling deeper in this hole
The night is so dark, it swallows my soul
Be my saviour, rescue me like a knight
For my prince charming, I'll wait day till night

I wish you're here, though to admit, I won't
For, my pride is worn, now merely a stone
The night is so dark, it swallows my soul
Yet I know your mere presence makes me whole

You breezed in, lighting fire in the cold
Making me forget the woes of growing old
But you're just a dream, an unreachable goal
The night is so dark, it swallows my soul

- a sloppy attempt at quatern ugh...i hate how i become restrained n lose some of the essence of what i really want whenever i try out patterns...

- this poem is dedicated to my beloved Hong Jiwoo...from this fic. maybe i'll write poems for her again inspired by the continuation months...i still don't feel this poem does justice to what she really felt for herself n the guy she met there. hm
