I've glimpsed loneliness,
In the moments between,
wakefulness and sleep,
When thoughts merge into dreams.

I've cried under the weeping moon
& shivered cold right through my soul
I choke upon my very own fears.
in the tangent moments that reality appears
Ive seen the sunlight drenching grass
warmth filling the world
and yet my cold feelings refuse to cleave
How long does darkness last?

In this impending doom
Without you I am losing myself,
In solitude and despair,
It gnaws right at the heart of me,
To know you are not here.
Now in your absence all is dark
and I have lost my way
Feeling so helpless, with nowhere to turn
Living is a lesson best left unlearned.
I want to be with you, forever on end
but some things are meant to just be pretend
I choke upon my very own fears.
in the tangent moments that reality appears
How long does darkness last?

My heart is guarded heavily
by my wavering wall
I'm afraid someone, someday, will make it fall
I stay beautifully silent within myself
and this is where I weep
underneath the weeping moon
this is where I grieve.
The world is cold without you
And I seek a place
To bask in your warmth
I need to see your face.

"And when its dark I think of you
To find a small escape
And in my dreams I'm close to you
How long does darkness take?"
