Frozen In the Heat

The sun takes its dark leave Leaving night to reign again For all the hours it’s assigned The sun, I know, will rise again To chase away the shadows haunting me But until then I’m left feeling cold Can’t you feel it in the wind? See it raining from the sky? Maybe it’s only me Left hung out to dry Freezing in the summer Beneath the scalding summer sun You were my source of light and heat Now that you’re gone It all seems to go a little slower As if time itself had frozen still The world’s so much colder Down inside this crater we formed With the edges we made far too smooth Time will pass as it has done All these years before and during But then why am I still here? In what seems like permanent mourning? I can see what we had planned A future burning brightly But all that’s left now is the past And my memories I clutch so tightly
