The night attempted once again to steal
The fragile hope I’d taught myself to feel
Its shadows pressed with hunger sharp and real
Intent on breaking everything I heal
But then you came—your light too swift to chase
It outran night with effortless embrace
The darkness failed to hold its own in place
Undone by every brightness in your face
Your radiance restored the weakening flame
It called out courage by my whispered name
The shadows bowed surrendering their claim
And dawn arrived as though it always came
So shine for me when evenings twist and bite
When bitter winds attempt their coldest fight
For in your glow all fear takes sudden flight—
Your light outruns the darkest night
