Draining

Darkness overcomes the light 
Draining the dew from the sun 
Alone with my heartache I fail 
 
Memories blow hard surrounded 
The twinkles have lost their shine 
Words uttered have been silenced 
Trembling   I await my final fate 
 
Shadows slip off into solitude 
Laden lies another storm
My mind hums a dreaded tune 
But my soul still marches forth
 
Winds rest now  for I am weary 
These arms can not hold on 
Restore her to the way she was 
Let distant desire lead her home

Easy to get lost in a storm, Tim. Let's hope her desire is a compass and home is magnetic north.
