The Night

your soul cries 
in the wind 

while rain pours 
on your heart

morning comes 
soon enough 

and the night steals 
from you no more

someone says 
its time to leave 

and we go 
to a place
 
where no one 
knows your name

I just stand and 
watch people walk by

they look away
like i don't exist

running from day 
into  night

distracting from 
truth

putting meaning 
on nothing

sharing the street 
and fighting 

a war that
none of us can see

losing nothing because
because nothing to lose

my dream is my walk
yours is the future

you are my friend but I don't see
the end of the day like you do

your heart cries
when you walk alone

your soul bleeds
when you sleep

your day is coming
so is mine


there is nothing else
we can do
