Refuge of Night
Written July 10th, 2011
There are no stars tonight
To help me see
They’ve left me on my own
To face this inner plight
Lost, I lay in the grass
Enjoying my quiet solitude
Tomorrow I’ll be hit with cold water
It seems I’m growing up too fast
A lonely lamppost’s light sent
To my figure, drawing a long shadow
I see my sins hiding in its black void
But life’s too short to worry about repent
I sit at the foot of a tree
A kind presence to ease my troubled heart
It will listen, even when I don’t speak
Someone to help set my mind free
In this night, I contemplate alone
The heavy silence surrounds me
Yet so loud with wisdom
Seeping into my every bone
Why am I here, hiding from the day?
You fill my mind so I can hardly think
I’m falling for you more every moment
And I need the night to tell me it’s okay.
There are no stars tonight
To help me see
They’ve left me on my own
To face this inner plight
----
For my boyfriend, you're warming up my heart again. It scares me... but I want to embrace it.
