Nights like this-
few and f a r b e t w e e n
With the full moon
Revealing all that it's seen
To the blackened streets
Where we had once been.
So tell me if
You could dare once again
To turn the pages
And take me in the rain
To my storybook land
Down a forgotten memory lane.
For I crave
With a hurt chest
And a ragged breath
halfchoked halfgasped
To have
a night more
a minute more
a moonbeam more
of what was once You
and Yours in Me.
So don't wake the demons
Hiding behind my shadow tonight
Leave behind nothing
But an almost-not-there remembrance
That will hurt
On cold winter nights
Like a wound that never healed
And a man that never left.
