The Day Narrows

a port in a storm when I'm alone in my room and then I stare at the wall in the back of my mind I hear my conscious call telling me I need a girl whose as sweet as a dove for then I know what I needed was love when I looked deep into her eyes I could see a future filled up with hope for a better tomorrow amidst the sadness and sorrow love is the truest essence of my mere existence although the light inside is very dim I know a true way where I could begin over once again shiny faces flirting traces with midnight places each of us is a work in progress some out of the darkness this much I must confess let him take residence a chance to take part in the dance on giving love another chance it isn't anything fake call it fate in the process that holds just like glue all things new bitten off far more then we could ever chew the human heart is an opened door willing to be explored we must think right thoughts to stay on top the day narrows right in where do I even begin the cost for freedom in letting him in changing me from the inside yet we run away and hide a challenge to be free is a quest of time do you all remember when you were broke down to your last thin dime in time special places flirting faces masked in spaces living the ultimate dream you all know what I mean inside we hide behind four wheels that seal yet you persist it being no big deal playing second fiddle getting caught in the middle this is the last line of the riddle
