I Call Your Name

The stillness of the night, I call your name.
I wake from dreams of long ago, and in
The darkness of my brokenness and shame . . .
I weep for what I’ve done, what might have been.

I weep for what I’ve done, what might have been.
The darkness of my brokenness and shame . . .
I wake from dreams of long ago, and in
The stillness of the night, I call your name.
