Back Into the Night

Caught up in the abstain
I could only wish for 
the comfort of the rain.
In a constant search of how 
I had always thought it 
was supposed to be 
in a life in a world with 
more than just me.
I turned to the world to say
but the world had only 
seemed to look the other way.
With no light nor sound 
only the darkness I had found.
I wrote a wish upon a star 
and threw it back into the 
night...
I want to go to bed but please
I don't want to say goodnight!
Tomorrow is sure to 
only return the pain of
wishing again for the 
comfort of the rain!
