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.
