Wistful Nights

I drive through barren, rain kissed roads

I am cloaked in a heavy pall of sorrow and regret

With tear crusted eyes I gaze toward that dull skyline

Wishing you were my light, please be my respite

I want your arms to be my soothing repose

We could give each other solace, protected from the cold

I long to be by your side

Will I ever gaze into your eyes

Or will entropy kill this dream

Digging through my skin, wading in apathy

Sleepless dreams unanswered, decaying what’s left of hope

I call to you but I am left in deafening silence

Reaching for your warming skin

Consumed by your cruel indifference

I will always look for you
