Unstill is the Night

There have been many nights I’ve heard you stir
And the stillness of the night has been broken
When the ghosts of your past appear in your dreams
Waging a battle you’re ill-prepared to fight

Never before have we spoken of this
Unaware are you that I witness this struggle
Yet only now do I realize
Why you choose to wage this battle in solitude
You fear that I’ll be frightened away
By the realization of who you once were

I have looked beyond the pain and sorrow
Which burden your soul
And found the love in your heart
Which had been deeply buried

I will reassure you that my friendship
Bears with it no conditions
And that in sharing these demons
You can finally put them to rest
