Nightfall

Nightfall



I’m still crying deep into the night.

It’s like this every night.

Please, make it rain, so I can go outside

where no one will see me cry.

I want it to rain!

It’s 2AM in the morning

and I still have a drink in my hand.

I don’t want to be this shadow of a man

but the nighttime-shadows call for me.

How I have lived until now, I do not know.

Maybe the morning’s light will shine on me

and I will finally die.

I’ve sinned and chosen to be this creature of the night.

I won’t force you to stay. You’re an angel

but I have thoughts of passion, hunger, and hate.

Maybe, you should stay.

In this, the evening of my night 

I need to feel the warmth of your body close to mine.

I shall live until the stars fall from the sky

but I cannot wait for you until then.

Before my next tear, drops from my eyes 

I need to bind your hands.

Are you lonesome for me or have we drifted apart?

My heart is filled with pain when I do this. 

We’ll stay inside where we can’t be heard.

I’ll be hearing your lies until I hear your sighs.

You have eyes that will tempt any man 

and your blood is flowing like wine.

My memory strays to the first night I kissed you.

As I draw your blood let your life pass by 

even if it takes forever.

When you return you will run to my waiting arms.

Then, you’ll always be beside me.

What a great day that will be.

You and me forever! . . .

 

It’ll be like falling in love.
