He Dwells In Depths I Dare Not Enter

No candy or flowers did he offer, 
something more special,
the gift of his heart, he gave 
mine already his.

I accepted his ring 
           and the love it would bring.

We exchanged wedding bands.
He took my hand, kissed my fingers.
We smiled and shared new adventures.
Happy home in a world of our own.

We promised to be true 
           then we said, "I do."

Our nights were filled with stars
and for a while all was well.
But darkness of another kind
moved in and hunted prey.

Which one would it devour? 
          I fought against its power.

I wept for the promise he didn't keep
for the gift that he took back
Lost to me was his heart
lost was mine as well.

He dwells in depths I dare not enter.  
          Satan the landlord;  he the renter.
