I hate the night.
That’s when the quiet steals my peace.
The loneliness begins to creep into my heart
And the aching begins…
The tears run over…
And I can’t stop thinking, crying....
Missing you.

My mind tells me to pull it together
That you are in such a better place
And that I will not always hurt this deeply.
But my heart can’t face this night
Without the tears, the hurt….the ache.
My heart doesn’t understand yet
That we will reunite
On some day in the distant future….
We will be side by side.

So until then, I battle through the night
The only way I can….
With tears and memories, heartache and pain
And await the dawn in my silent hell
For with the dawn comes new light….
A new day that proves the stillness of the night
Will not last forever.
