The Morning Rush

Blanketed in darkness, despite the morning skies A dull flicker of memory rears behind tired eyes Images seem blurry, pathetic and astray But slowly gain momentum, then unite clear as day A rush of sour emotion, the solitude infects The thought of you so out of reach quakes beneath my chest And for one selfish moment I let sadness kidnap me I cry for all we never had and what will never be Surrender to my craving, let a wave of aching in Let my heart lie broken, let desolation sting I cry until the tears run dry, my body breaks the fever And try to face another day while you're lost in the ether
