Strangers To Midnight
The clock strikes twelve, she glances up
Did Darkness fall at last?
Gathering up her busy work,
She smiles at midnight's past...
Rushing now, she can't be late!
She hurries through the night..
The rain starts softly now to fall.
And blurs her weary sight...
With tremors of excitement,
At last she finds her door....
She rushes through with sparkling eyes,
Rain drips upon the floor....
She's waited all day long for this,
For the Midnight hour to fall...
Excited over her new work,
She can't wait to share it all.....
Wearing beauty's brightest smile,
And that sweet glow in her eyes...
She turns to fall in loving arms...
She just craves sweet peace tonight.
Her stare falls on an empty room,
She grows still and looks around.
She can feel the hour of midnight,
Pressing her heart to the ground.....
The storm is coming harder now,
She stands still and smells the air...
How ironic that on this dark night,
Midnight's all that she finds there....
Did she miss the one she watched for...
Like ships passing in the night?
Or has she become a Stranger here....
Missing Midnight's sweet delights..
Memories cloud her eyes,
As she walks softly to the bed.....
She strokes the waitting covers..
Voices ringing in her head.....
Oh sweet stupid child, how Could you think
That you could hold the night?
What gave you the vast impression.
That this all would be alright..?
Did you think the sweetness of just you..
Could cause this one to stay?
Did you think your strong and loving arms
Entitled you to play......
From the shadows of the candles flame,
Hurt rushes out in waves......
Her eyes close as she gives in,
And surrenders to the pain.
Her softly given, loving smile....
Never quite reaches her eyes......
A single tear falls down and rests
Upon her silky thighs....
Ahhhh ..to know the bitter, stinging taste
Of sweetness and regret.......
Wrapped around her heart like latticework
This Midnight stage is set..........
All of these sweet expectations,
Just left lying on the floor.....
What a trade I've now accomplished...
Such a fool to assume more.......
So in love with every part of him,
So in love with night.............
So in love with Midnight's darkened spells
So In love with God and Life....
How alone the dark is, as it comes...
To rest in someones soul.....
How the beauty of the Midnight hour
Always comes to take its toll......
How strangely silent sorrow creeps...
Like blood blending with sweet rain.
Falling down with clensing pink-red hues
Fading out loves constant pain...
Left alone here in this darkened room..
Echoes fall of what has been....
Sweetly whispered words, shared ideas
Will they ever come again?
Darkness offers her no answers,
As she lays to close her eyes.....
Her memories dance around and tease
Ring like thunder in her mind......
As the darkness creeps around her
What a shame she's come to see.....
How Midnight's Hour brings sweet desire
And Just how Lonely that can Be......
