In the Darkness of Night

It is in the cover of night, I weep for what I have lost.

It is in the darkness of night

I hold onto the memories of old

When fear grasps ahold of me and the cold

Chills my bones

It is when I draw upon

The bright, happy memories

That keep me sane in the darkness of night

The laughter, the joy, the love

That held us together, once strong

But now, a faint, distant memory

It is in the darkness of night

I weep for you and what I have lost

A bond once stronger than steel

Now hanging by the threads, lingering painfully

It is in the darkness of night I wish

For Death to take me as it took

You from my arms, stole you

From my warm embrace

It is in the darkness of night

I curse my living, breathing soul
