When Daylight Seeps
When daylight seeps
‘round curtains sadder than the hangman's noose
To a room where brooding melancholy sleeps
Where are you, outside of lifes lone excuse?
When steaming food
To polished plate, wisped reminds of meals once shared
On tabletop scarred with my lonesome mood
Where are you, to ease when I no longer care?
The music swells
Baleful violins weep a note so pure
Soul seeks me out, my pain so deeply felt
Where are you, when I alone must endure?
When liquid eyes
Across crowded room expectant seek
Your approach, my shining armoured prize
Where are you, my loneliness to defeat?
When dread so taunts
And leaden feet on gravel pathways pass
‘midst grey skinned yews in winter gaunt
There are you ‘neath granite slab and frost-burned grass.
