Darkness In The Rust

Darkness in the rust; No run to go home 
Heart like silver; Words like stone 

Beauty was unseen; His eyes were fray 
Silent in the night; His home was The Bay

Darkness in the rust Welcomed us in 
His hand was so foul; His heart so clean

Danger was Darkness You avoided at night 
But his words shone A protecting light

His story unknown; A shadow in the crowd 
A year of rusting; No boasting nor proud

The air was soiled Yet he still cheers 
"It will be a great, Beautiful start to the New Year!"

The cold stood still; His warmth did melt 
A hidden smile That I strongly felt 

Darkness in the rust; No place to go home 
Heart like silver; Words like stone
