Dark Days

The intense feelings envelop my being
My very soul cries out
Yearning, aching for the love
The love without a doubt

Loneliness leaves me empty
A virtual hole in my heart
Memories of love long gone
Of lives torn apart

The dreams of a sweet caress
Watching over him gently sleeping
Strong arms wrapped around my waist
The thoughts of love worth keeping

Distant memories haunt me
Yet thoughts of love I ache for
The fears overwhelm me
And my heart retreats once more

Alone in the night
My reflections never cease
Distant dreams of he and I
The faceless man and I in peace

The reflection in my mirror
Tells me no lies
My loneliness is haunting me
It is easy to see in my eyes

Solitude consumes me
In each and every way
The asylum I've created
Spawns my pain each day
