In the Darkness of the Night

The darkness wraps me up In its blanket of sorrow It tries to lull me to sleep With dreams of a better tomorrow But in the dark A loneliness Breeds Feelings of failure and despair Feeling that once made me bleed The sadness of the dark Draws me to a dangerous sleep Where dreams of happiness Make me wake and weep I dream of moving away I dream of another life Where there is this man Who takes me away to be his wife When I wake up in the light The dream escapes from my mind And I realise with clarity That to life I've been blind I wonder how it came to this And how I could've been so wrong I thought fate held my cards But it was me all along I've ruined every relationship Time and time again Because escaping from commitment Avoided the blinding pain
