Darkness In My Heart

A.E.S has done it again! I mean, I've been sitting and thinking Thoughts so vain, waiting. Waiting For the bulbs to flicker then "ding" With bright white light once again. A few minutes before the TV roared In the Bernabeu and I watched: no blinking! Each shot, each trickery of their inking As with art they had my heart rising then sinking: Champions League night baby! Nobody bored! And the lights were white alive But the whir of electrons slowly seeping Through laden wires didn't affect my skipping Ad arrhythmia as victory played the evil Imp in This story: appearing then dipping into its hive. Yes! the bright lights were on yet ignored And like the well with its honey for our drinking Ignored till without warning or tin bell ringing Darkness rushed in to seize our wishes and hoping And my love was gone; leaving my heart all scoured.
