Endless Night

You,
my friend,
are a sad reminder,
a beautiful ghost,
of what was then and now,
and what I want the most.

I want so bad to keep you,
here within my sights.
I don't have the energy to pursue,
so I'll live forever in my endless nights.

You taunt me with your lack of shadow,
and anything tethering you to the earth.
What you reap is what you sow,
and I am left to question my own worth.

Tease me with your grace,
laugh at me with your flight.
You've left me in this place,
in my endless night.

You've stolen my stars,
and our haunted moon too.
Why don't you take everything that was ours?
and anything I believed to be true.

I once asked for this,
wished and prayed.
That the night would never end.
and you would never go away.

Why do I only get
one half of my
harmless
wish?

You've gone away,
and the night can never end.
Reliving the moments
unable to mend.

I want you to be with me,
want to be able to see,
That smile on your face,
It used to lighten this entire place.

This house is haunted,
by you, and only you.
You're driving me mad,
with all this wondering what do.

I could light a candle,
but you never taught me how.
Never showed me where to find the matches,
so the darkness becomes darker now.

I ask you to help me find them,
the keys to seeing the light again.
Happiness is what I need,
show me how, my dear friend!

Instead you stand and watch me,
wondering why I've got no light.
With one look I lay all blame on you,
for my
endless night.
