Orion

I find myself treading
Alone in the dark
Belonging to here
And yet leaving no mark
Despite all the fears
And feeling alone
You always look down
To make my path known

You give when it’s lonely
You take nothing back
Up there in the darkness
Embracing the black
The hunter of evening
With sword by your side
Never reaching your quarry
You march on with pride

I’m brave when you’re with me
A pharaoh of now
Indiscretions mean nothing
My faults you allow
The curse of the summer
When you glow without sight
And the fleeting of glimpses
As you chase through the night

My journey is dirty
And most selfish of al
I only desire you
When pride takes a fall
Yet you give when i’m lonely
You take nothing back
Up there in the darkness
Embracing the black
