This Night

Lost deep in dark thoughts
I wander through this dismal world.
My cold feet slapping against the rocks,
My cold hands hang limply at my sides.

I see his face everywhere I go,
I hear his voice in every shadow.
My hands yearn to reach out to him,
But the image of her face stops me.

His words taunt me, haunt me,
Kill me slowly thru the day and night.
Words of love and adoration like a dagger;
Piercing my heart slowly, savouring the pain.

Standing at the cliffs edge, hair flowing,
Dark and long into the wind, into the night.
A dark stain forms deep and red,
Where once a heart beat for him.

A cold lifeless body, pulled toward the sea,
A life once full of promise and dreams.
Here this night does it end, in one,
Breathless and magical whispered Word: Love.
