I sit at night in the time of my silence
wandering through mists of past quiet reticence
listening and whispering, considering, consoling
listfully, peacefully, tearfully mourning.

Quietly chasing the ghosts around shadows
the happiness once spent now endlessly shallow
memories, touches, words and dark heartache
weeping and wailing, fool only for loves sake

clutching to futures for only a moment
seeking the signs of how was love mis-spent
crashing and burning and slashing within me
crying and dying and nowhere to flee.

How am I expected to live these dark days?
where breathing comes ardous and my mind’s all a haze? my heart shred in pieces still bleeding within
waiting and watching and hoping again

Whence does another come to replace thee?
to fill your heartlessness and careless naivity,
when here I lie useless to all those akin me
cast into the pit of self-pious pity.

Now as I lay down to dawns early slumber
my eyes dried of tears and the moon put asunder
one dark and one light like a heart torn in two
is how your love left me, my heart left with you.
