In The Restless Night

In The Restless Night
David Walker

I am my universal self

To your cold and distant brilliance 
We see and believe in what we see

From that distance
You have me at an unknown advantage 

I will be what you think I am

And you will never reciprocate in
My weaknesses for you

Act II
 in this passions play will 

Script itself
In the restless night
