The dead of night

In the dead of night I miss you
In the silences we share in those forced moments together
Where circumstance meets desire
In the dead of night I’m lost
In the moments that were forced to share we delight
And yet am burning with inferior fire
In the dead of my eyes I’m living
In the loveless moments once filled with such comfort
I see only the pain in the shadows of your heart
In the dead of the silence I’m overwhelmed
In the beautiful moments we still have as ghosts
I feel only the echo once I’m alone and we’re apart
In the dead of my thoughts I’m searching
For some unforeseen moments with someone new
Some time and space a sudden change to life and break away
In the dead of my thoughts I hear your words
The moments and declarations haunt me and draw me in
Into your smile, the joviality – but I know I must control my way
In the dead of our love I’m lost without you
These moments of friendship seem so fickle
I trust in your sincerity but I have to move on, I’m grieving
In the dead of our love I’m lost without you
The moments of truth seem so trite
I fall into your fondness but I have to be strong I’m leaving
Goodbye.
I love you.
But it has to be as friends.
Goodbye, I love you, I’m tired with the pretend.
Only in the dead of night do I still feel this way
So I have to move on, cut myself free
In the dead of night I still love you
In the dead of night you still hurt me
In the dead of night this confused clarity
Makes what I must do all too clear to see
