The evening darkness comes
the morning was supposed to be bright,
But when the sun was supposed to rise
alone there was no light,

No warmth, no heat
no comfort avail,
Not even a breeze
to fill the sail,

Adrift on the ocean
so large and consuming,
Alone I await
I feel so abondoning,

Was it the darkness
or something different,
That made you gone
in the light you were absent,

All I want
is to be with you,
Like the water
I feel so blue,

When you are gone
and not around,
I try to scream your name
but make no sound,

There is nothing to hear
It is so quiet,
My heart begins to beat
in my mind a riot,

You say its nothing
to worry about,
Yet in my mind
the seed of doubt,

Begins to grow
and tug my thoughts,
Through space and time
I connect the dots,

I do not know
what I said or did,
I cry my eyes out like a little kid.
