After Dark
Before I came here
I knew I’m gonna be alone this night
Whence be darkness so near
Have I not another within my sight?
Time regardlessly to regard
Perhaps too early, perhaps a never was
An after to only bring up my guard
Yet before, have I not known a cause
I wasn’t to know
Or... perhaps I already knew
Yet who be there to show?
When true be reasoned with the unreal
An afterdark to belong in silence
An afterglow I did not embrace
Who did I become to listen?
Where is myself I’m to face?
After I came here
Might I still be alone this night?
When its darkness I can draw near
Yet where be another within my sight
