In the Watches of the Night

[I'm not really sure this is the right form of lyric, not doing rhymes here] I look for you in the glow of starlight I feel your presence though I am stone and you become a mysterious torment a whisper in a place with eerie keening. I collapse on my knees, stunned and passive pain beats like a soundless drum you carried away the magic of our past. All I have left is mere bravado. In the watches of the night I suspect daylight will be brief time is an illusion for you're not there the reality of our love a flimsy veil. @jjote
