Long Lonely Nights
The nights are hardest
As I lie alone in silence
No sounds to be heard
But my own lonely heartbeat
No one to be seen
But my own dejected reflection
The only sight of dawn
Lie not in my hands
Daybreak, lies far away
In his own bed
Independently shelving my day
For he knows I cannot live in darkness
I cannot live in silence
I cannot live without him
Yet he delays his return
In all attempts to defeat my desire
To put out the spark
My only hope in the wintry night
I guess it's my own fault
I’ve driven away my only chance for day
All I have now
Is the slight hope that the silence will break
By an unforeseen knock at my door
Daybreak easing in
Filling my life
Ending my long, lonely night.
