Alone In the Dark

The pain of night, the pain of day.
Between the two, it all seems grey.
The walls are brown, a little dim.
Since you've been gone it's kinda grim.

Tomorrow calls for yesterday.
But tomorrow never get's it's way.
An emptiness now fills my time.
To find me writing forlorn rhyme.

What is to come to save the day.
No one can know, no one can say.
We just await an Angel's hark.
As we wait alone in the dark.

WOW, Robert.... you have to be the only poet with major flow. I know we all flow, But, you got it going on non-stop. I like the grey from night to day and the un-shady way you end the poem. Makes ME not mind the dark at all. Hugs...LInda
