midnight

In the midst of the darkest hour.

I pour my heart out, like a rain shower.

Far from dawn, the night is long.

I wander in my dreams, my mind is gone.

I get lost at the thought of you.

The memories hold a perfect view.

How come you only appear when darkness nears?

The sound of your voice echoes in the willows.

I still have the stains of pain on my pillows.

I find solace in the night sky.

The chills of the wind, the stillness of the earth.

I don’t want to stop dreaming of you.

I sprint from the light.

For I reminisce with midnight.
