A Long Night
A Long Night
Walking down by the water’s edge,
I sense the lingering crush of emotion.
With each footstep my heart begins to beg,
Raging against me like a powerful ocean.
Tossing and turning inside my mind,
It fills up with so much static.
Wanting nothing more than for my light to shine,
My body starts shaking in withdraws like an addict.
Sweat wells on my cold forehead,
It makes my body tingle,
Did I say all I should have said?
Our words flowed like strangers trying to mingle.
Laughter feels absent within these walls,
The living has gone without a thought.
Shouting in the night and waiting for a return call,
This long night alone for us was for naught…
