Kidnapped By Mimes

Sometimes At Midnight

Sometimes At Midnight

Sometimes at midnight

When the world is quiet

I hear you calling

In the night

Sometimes at noon

I hear you say

Come take my hand,

Let's run away

Sometimes at twilight

I think I feel

Your touch so tangible

I think it's real

Sometimes at dawn

I think I see

Contours of you

Lying there with me

Sometimes I hear you

Without a sound

Whispering and making

My love come down

Sometimes I feel

Your lips on mine

Seducing and driving

Me out of my mind

Sometimes I hear you

Sometimes I feel

Sometimes I see you

Just like you're real

But every day I wake

Just to feel the pain

Of finding that you

Aren't here again.

midnight

But We Don't Say Goodbye

But We Don't Say Goodbye

We've said a lot of things, we two

Like , 'I am so happy that I found you

Like, you are my moon, my stars and sun

My life, my love, my only one.'

We've laughed in pain,

We've cried for joy

We've been transparent

Been shy and coy.

We've reeled love in

And gave it slack

We've run away

And then ran back.

We've fought like lions,

Cooed like a dove

Laid down our lives

For each other's love.

No matter the circumstance,

No matter the cause

We've held to the victories,

Dismissing the loss.

We've written the poetry

That brought forth the sighs

Embraced like true lovers

With tears in our eyes.

Said 'I love you forever'

Said 'I hate you right now'

Said 'I might live without you'

But I cannot see how.'

We've walked through the thunder

Hand in hand, holding fast

Danced in moonlight at midnight

Long as moonlight would last.

Been through so much, we two, together

Will go through more before we die

We say such things and some we shouldn't

But you and I don't say goodbye.

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.
