When the night chose Us

I hid my truth behind the dark

Afraid you’d run, afraid you’d break

Your eyes were light, my world was a scar

A secret beating like a stake

I waited for the moment

When I’d lose you all at once

But you stayed in the silence

When the fear had just begun

When the night chose us, you didn’t turn away

You saw the monster, but you called my name

In your heartbeat I was human again

Love didn’t fade when the truth began

Your hands were shaking, not with fear

But with the weight of what you knew

You saw the blood, you saw the tears

Still chose the broken, still chose me too

I thought the dark would end us up

That the light would make you run

But you kissed the shadow

And said, “We’re not done”

When the night chose us, you stayed by my side

You held my secret, you held my life

In your eyes I found my breath

You loved me past the myth and death

I am more than teeth and scars

More than legends, more than pain

You saw my soul behind the stars

And called me yours in quiet rain

When the night chose us, love stood still

Between the fear and free will

If I’m cursed, then let it be

You turned my darkness into me

If the sun takes you away

I’ll wait where shadows learn to pray
