She Will Return

Through the night

Dreams elude me

Wide eyed, alert and sane

I stare into the heart of darkness

Waiting, inhaling

Exhaling, dying

She will return to me

I live colourless days

The sky lightless and pale

I envy the living

The star-crossed lovers

Of hope and life

Waiting, inhaling

Exhaling, dying

She will return to me

Lying here motionless

My eyes wide open

With a torn and naked heart

I long through the threshold of pain

I left open the gates of hate

Allowed emptiness to come in

Desperation weigh me down

Falling like an angel...
