The Night by Gary R. Ferris
Still a mystery,
I can’t figure out;
Race home from work,
Where life is without. ***** I race to see you,
And hold you to me;
My mind says you’re there,
And my heart won’t see. ***** I open the door,
It’s still a surprise:
You’re not there,
And tears fill my eyes. ***** I need someone,
Or call on the phone;
But nothing breaks the silence,
Of these walls made of stone. *****
I punish myself,
By refusing to eat:
Depression is silent,
I hear my heart beat. ***** Where can I go,
Or should I stay:
Shy to choose,
In bed I lay. ***** Time will pass,
And the dark sets in;
Laying there wishing,
I could still touch your skin. ***** Lying there hurting,
I wish I could die;
Missing you so much,
Again I start to cry. *****
Sometimes I wonder,
If you even know;
The way that I need you,
Would you still go. ***** I can’t sleep now,
Again a long night;
Are you this lonely,
Do you share in my fright. *****
