---And Then

...and then in darkness feelings wane as hearts in bleeding tear drops fall too deep the pains of midnight call when lonely hours come again ...and then as whispers fill the night the songs of distant love remain, but memories of fervid pain, indebted loss we must requite ...and then again in mortal sin as in love's name to right the score the evil thoughts will come once more but never will our heart give in when softest pillowed words imbue a warm caress ...for then comes you 04/24/2017

Your interpretation is exactly as intended Anne-Marie. First stanza defines the loss of feelings and intimacy in a relationship, the second relays the pain of that loss and the desire for love. The third involves the desire to look elsewhere but also the assurance that it will not happen if love remains. The last is left for your interpretation.
