A Night So Long

You’re like a water spring in a summer drought A painted red rose in a place so grey, this is what you’re about Together, we have a bond that even gravity couldn’t part My dreams, visions of smiles and love. Where did this all start? I could feel the pronounced beating drum through my chest My eyes began to focus on everything, they would not rest This lonely night crept up with no prior warning Lost love tonight, I must express with silent mourning My nights cold with this dream, empty and hollowed You said you’ll be here in a moment, but never followed Why did you capture the good times we had? You Left me alone in the deep, you looked, and I’m so sad Your name echo’s like the sound of a fired gun You are an imprint so deep, I don’t want anywhere to run I offered you my aching heart on a plate You took it, smashed it then left it in a beaten state Trust so strong, now the fracture will never heal Forever devastated, ailing with anguish, it feels unreal Never willing to release myself from this sorrow Wounded or not, having you with me I can face tomorrow For me is a version of hell that shall haunt me for eternity Pinch myself, is this a dream? Will I live in serenity? Cold sweat pouring like a waterfall from my brow Jolting up from my bed, this nightmare I can now disavow Laying next to me, I run my fingers through your hair Kissing your head and smiling, knowing you are blissfully unaware.
