Losing My Soul

Losing my soul in the quietness of night,
I let myself wander in her silent voices,
her icy hands, calling me to hold them.

I slowly give in to her temptations,
as if she is a healer,
her spell works upon me,
losing my light, I walk deeper into her world,
and see her darkness rising in me.

The silent voices of the night are worth listening to...

but somehow this "long dark night" seems to be soothing. Loosing the light for reflective darkness... seems somehow healing here. I'm not sure if that is what you were getting at, though.
