with every starless night

I feared tomorrow’s dawn

unwilling to close my eyes 

wishing this haunting to be gone

morning after morning 

wishing it were all a dream 

but sunshine brought it back again

had me choking, I could not scream

it was so hard on me

long shadows always held the dark

I would never understand your pain

once vibrant paths now stood stark

a love so strong

unable to win the fight 

did your heart ever have its doubts

it’s getting late, I hope the stars come out tonight
