Night

This room grows colder as I write
And the candle is slowly dying
Drowning in it's own light
And the wind outside is calling
Me

They told me not to leave
But nothing they said made any sense
And none of their words I could believe
Now I lower myself into lament

I opened my mind to the stars
And bared my soul to the skies
Hoping that something would come
Wishing for help from someone
Still nothing I did could ever have been right

I hear the wind
Pushing it's own way in
Through the smallest of gaps I allow

The clouds have cast a gloom over the stars
I'm all alone and I need to count my scars
But there's nothing I want more
Than for a carriage to come and take me away

I never listened
To a word that was said
And now I've even lost my tears

The night fell through the broken skies
The stars all hit the ground, I dropped them all
And my shoulders can carry the dusk no more

And with the last feelings I have
I offer them all to the night
It has been my only friend
For all of its sins I must die

You will see me walking
Past your window at times
When I have nobody to talk to I will deny
Deny myself the feelings I saved
Kept it all for a rainy night, then I gave.
