In the Dark Night

Naked with fear,

Terror-cold in the doorway,

You cried:

Save me!

Light struck the blade

And blood stained the night

You cried:

Save me!

But we passed you by.

There’ll be no peace for us

No matter how we try

We never knew

Our hearts so shriveled dry

Until we passed you by.
