When the nights turn dark

And the sun lays its head rest

I look for your light

But you’ve faded into the void

And the void swallows me whole

Like a shark and its prey

Tricked by the swaying waters

Lost in a sea of lust

You promised me love luminously

But only stole what was left of mine

And left me a dying flame

When to powers go out

So I lay awake in bed

Telling the moon my hearts story

Because she never screams through my cries

She listens with warmth and depth

So still today,

The song of the birds

Can be heard outside the window

Even without you there.
