'Twas a night, a night of solitude,
Longing for a companion, my heart subdued,
Lying in my bed, clutching my pillow tight,
Tears falling, yearning for your closeness, night after night.
Questions persist, endlessly asking why,
No answers received, just waiting in the sky,
Perhaps I'll fade away, unnoticed and unseen,
In this cruel world, feeling like I'm nothing, like a dream.
I attempt to embrace, to feel your love's embrace,
Yearning for warmth, turning loneliness into grace,
To discover purpose, in a life once blue,
Awakening my existence, to find solace anew.
Still, your kisses linger within my soul,
As I drift to slumber, your lullaby, a story untold,
In your embrace, I find serenity's release,
Hoping to awaken, and find you with abundant peace.
Some may deem me mad, lost in my own mind,
Am I truly insane? No, it's not what you'll find,
Even if deemed foolish, I don't mind the glare,
For even if you don't understand, God will be there.
Kneeling to pray, an act steadfast and true,
Seeking strength to face my destiny anew,
Though love may thirst within, a reality plain,
God's unwavering love will nourish, keeping me sane.
