Alone In The Dark

 


Alone In The Dark


Alone in the dark, tonight I stand
A lost and lonely, broken man
Seeking for a hand to hold
Seeking a mending of my soul.

I turn that way and I turn this
Yearning for a devouring kiss
Craving for a sweet caress
To calm the storming in my chest.

It hurts, the wounding that I feel
When my eyes saw love was not real
Just an illusion, a butterfly
A glimpse in the corner of my eye.

That touched me with a smile so fair
And left me bewildered, standing there
Not knowing right, not knowing wrong
But hearing snippets of your song.

The song, I know, you wrote for me
Beneath the weeping willow tree
When our eyes met and our hearts clove
And my soul knew I'd found my love.

And I held to that lovely prize
That I thought lived there in your eyes
But, alas, that gift was not to be
When you took that love away from me.
 
And here I stand in the dark alone
Still not accepting that you're gone
Not accepting the pain or the cut of the lies
That ripped me to ribbons with the cold of your eyes.

I stand here alone in the dark  by myself
Wondering if there is any love left
But all I feel are teardrops rolling down off my face
And of your beautiful love song, I hear only a trace.

And the sound of your laughter in the cold midnight breeze
Ever the temptress, ever the tease
You don't know what love is, you don't have a clue
How to love me in earnest but you know I love you.

So I wait in the cold as the snow's falling down
And it molds to my form and I freeze to the ground
Just a sad frozen sight, a heartbroken snow man
With his eyes full of tears, and his bare outstretched hands.

Reaching to you who cannot reach for me
Looking for you who will not look at me
Living and loving  but loving unknown
Crying and dying in the dark all alone.
