All alone
In the darkness, I await
looking for that flash of light.
Ears straining from defeat
My heart is breaking from the sight
Out the window I do stare,
tears flooding mine eyes
My breath stripped from my lungs,
As I cry out in pain, wishing to die
Another night all alone,
the coldness creeping in my heart.
I beg of you to stop,
I fear I am falling apart.
Alas, my beloved one
my heart bleeds out for you.
The cries are heard far and wide;
My pain and sorrow is real and true.
