Of Love and Darkness

Day's End

Another hour, another tear

As I watch the death of today

Slowly it wastes and dies

Withering with decay

A darkness takes hold

To solidify the grief

Standing on the edge of this night

At least the torment is brief

Stars begin to twinkle

In this vast and darkening sky

With an outstretched hand

Reaching for the moon on high

The twilight is fading

As the heavens don a lamentable black

Fulfilling its unending destiny

Sympathy is all I lack

And as another falls

This is the day's end

I look toward the horizon

Seeing the hope that night might bring
