Long Lonely Nights

The nights are hardest As I lie alone in silence No sounds to be heard But my own lonely heartbeat No one to be seen But my own dejected reflection The only sight of dawn Lie not in my hands Daybreak, lies far away In his own bed Independently shelving my day For he knows I cannot live in darkness I cannot live in silence I cannot live without him Yet he delays his return In all attempts to defeat my desire To put out the spark My only hope in the wintry night I guess it's my own fault I’ve driven away my only chance for day All I have now Is the slight hope that the silence will break By an unforeseen knock at my door Daybreak easing in Filling my life Ending my long, lonely night.
