Long time coming
Mood:  happy
This has been a long time coming... I apologize.

I've been stuck in pre-dawn gray
For three long months.
The sun and stars have danced,
The moon has waxed and waned,
But I haven't felt the promise of day
Since you left me.
The midnight of my depression has passed,
My two a.m. denial has long faded,
But dawn has been elusive.
The silence of gray is on my skin--
I don't break it with screaming tears
Or the fiery red of rage--
I just soak quietly in my gray
And wait.
Wait for the warmth of dawn
To color my life again
