Nocturnal Pain

Lying in bed alone, listening to the falling rain...

beating in rhythm with my pulse, against my window pane.

Wishing I were in your arms, not lost with thoughts of you in my head...

reflecting on regrets, and words, I wish I would have said.

Sirens in the distance scream, like lovers torn apart,

the night wind carries a chill, that matches the one in my heart.

Loneliness tends to overtake, on solemn nights like this...

my mind is wandering- missing you- wishing for just one kiss.

No creatures stir, yet I am restless, no sleep for me tonight...

I ache to be wrapped up, in your arms, beneath the pale moonlight.

But alone I lie in this cold, queen bed- you're a million miles away...

I close my eyes and can hear you speak the words you'll never say.
