Unwelcome Night

The light casts a shadow against the far wall
As once more i await  the darkness to fall
The air starts to chill, a mist settles in
The ground becomes cold as the candle burns thin
So here i sit and await a new day
Remembering how it was not always this way
There was a time with you at my side
With you next to me, the sun could not hide
We took on the world, and made it our toy
We did what we wanted, no end to the joy
But that is the past, your now far away
I cant hear your voice, i know not what you say
All i have left, besides the memories we shared
Is an image of you, and knowing you cared
