Detaching

It's a sad night, 
when a warm light, 
Runs cold.
In the moonlight, 
lovers do fight,
I know.
It's a hard sight.
After midnight, 
It slows,
When they fall right, 
Back to their lie, 
Of hope.

It's a time bomb,
Ticking to explode.
Love can be strong, 
But it can be wrong, 
I know.

It's a bleak scene, 
Watching daydreams, 
Vanish.
Such a cold thing, 
When you're reaching,
And miss.
It's a dark day, 
When you can't say, 
You know,
Why you still fight, 
For this sad life, 
There's no hope, 
No hope.

It's a time bomb,
Ticking to explode.
Love can be strong, 
But it can be wrong, 
I know,  I know.

There's a small place, 
When they embrace, 
That's cold.
It's a heart string,
That's detaching, 
So slow, 
But it shows.
