Late night laughs
Blow away quick...

As creatures scuddle over damp forest floors,
Another day comes to an end...

Light slips away from my withering grasp,
I fade into the darkness I hold dear...

Moments pass by and I am left wondering
Whether or not I can see another...

I promised so many past loves
That I'd never let them go...

Little do you know, my feelings grow strong
You don't know me, I don't know you...

To all who have scoffed at my ability to be loved,
I pray you know my heart's true desire...

When I look into her eyes
Like the look of a puppy...

Undisguised longing
To fix a troubled heart's ache...

See it lie forlorn and resolute
A blackened rose not fit for two...

I stare absently at the footsteps she left behind
those that were accompanied by my best friend's...

I walk this road of dirt and grass
Rehearsing softly what I am going to say...
