In the quite darkness of the night

Sitting sad and lonely by single candle light,

Memories of the beautiful moments we shared,

Of the times we were happy and cared.

Floating in the void black space around me,

Sinking from mind to my heart

Asking why it should be.

Around my soul the blackness envelopes,

Blanking and stripping out our dreams and hopes.

With every fresh thought released in a flash,

The pain stabs through me in a sharp dash.

Questions and answers-

Answers and questions going around and around

….and still no solution,

My mind and heart spinning in giddying revolution.

Nausea and tears burning deep inside

Reminding me of all the times you lied.

Eventually released in an hot gushing stream,

Head and being physically hurting

Racked with tremors so severe

Wanting you to hold me so close and near,

Your whispers cutting through this desperate despair

Leaving me soothed by your sure embrace and gentle care.

But In the quite restless darkness of this night,

Sitting sad and lonely by single candle light

Haunted with our memories all around,

Left with the lone beat of my own heart… the only sound.
