Tonight I Cry
I search for you, every night
While darkness envelops me
To find your face in starry light
Death has set your spirit free
My hollowed eyes fill with tears
As I explore the dark for you
Memories flow from many years
The life we lived floods through
Stretch my hand into the sky
To touch your ghostly face
My fingers tremble, I start to cry
A vision floating, I must trace
This quiet dance, a purposed cause
To hold your love so tight
Know your gone, a life to pause
This fragile heart I fight
A nightly scene of loneliness
This death I can not flee
To fill the void of emptiness
Your face with tears I see
