Silhouette

I waited all night by the phone
With icy tears of my own regret.
Mom's screaming in my mind tonight,
And it's a sound I can't forget.

It seems my skin must be ripping,
From these tears devoid of light.
I can't believe you said there's a sun,
When in my mind its always night.

Lets go back, just a little while,
To those days where young is old,
To the days were I would lie to myself,
That this darkness would not hold.

Yet here I am, still barely alive,
But my scars are set in stone.
Another minute and the light will break,
And I spend this minute alone.

So dear God if you can hear me,
Please separate the blacks and whites.
Please bring to me the sun unbroken,
To release me from these nights.

And, to him, the love of my life,
The reason I live in regret,
I wish that I could live without you,
But you're the light in my silhouette.
