Midnight's Solace

Hopeful gazes admiring
midnight's reflection,
a void of time and existance.
Lost inside the labyrinth
of my soul,
searching.

My heart,
caressed by a wind that
does not exist...
voiced of the emptiness inside.
Hollow echoes ring gently
in my ears,
straining to hear the soothing
words you've spoken.
Haunting whispers
bring a serenity I can't explain,
yet only wish to grow.

Emotional needs,
unfulfilled,
lay in your palms
just beyond my reach.
Left longing;
longing for more than I can have,
I take solace in the blanket of night.
It is here I see you,
I hear you,
I feel you.

It is here
I wish to never leave.

Torn between dusk and dawn,
comfort and hope,
I only pray that the
rising sun brings more than light.
For I would live in darkness eternally
just to hold you close.

Breathe whispers to me
and draw me in,
a moth to your candle's flame...
to brighten the path of what can be.
