The Darkness At Noon
Allow me to climb thirteen steps in peace
As you leave, look back show me no sorrow
For these dark gallows will soon take my life
Innocence cares not, for my tomorrows
A final kiss, these hands growing colder
Forgive me each day winds caress your skin
And think of me warmly, as you grow older
Show no tears, as I will see you again
Let me say , until and never forget
So I may leave you now, without fear
Having tasted your lips for the last time
Know this, I'll be with you always my dear
Up each step I'll hear the sound of your heart
I'll whisper I love you, as I depart
contest.. Darkness at Noon
