*The Night is dark and dark it stays
Until an even darker day
The darkest room, the door is locked
The key is lost or thrown away
The windows shut and sealed so tight
To face another dark, dark night
With crowded thoughts I stand alone
In darkened rooms there is no light
To see to touch to feel to hear
This darkened room is what I fear
To find the light this room should have
To search this room, how near, how far?*

*Sometimes I still think of her
She was in my mind all day and night
Did I ever even know her
Though for a while it seemed so right
Even the briefest of moments we had
No importance of time when we were together
She made me feel so alive once more
How I wished there and then had lasted forever
I opened my heart and let down my guard
Was she the one was she my destiny
I had no fear to show her how I felt
But in the end it wasn’t meant to be
Yet I have probably faded from her mind
She touched my life and so I won’t forget
In spite of this and If I end up alone
If I end up unhappy I’m happy we met*

*As the wind blows a thousand wishes in the air
Promises and worries get ignored or disappear
Wars end, begin and carry on
Answers gained today, some right, some wrong
Words said with meaning, or without
Lingering whispers all about
Peaceful thoughts getting lost in a maze
Distraught confusion leaving all in a daze
Empty rooms getting dusty in vain
Starving flowers having daydreams of rain*

*Chances I’ve missed and dreams gone astray
Unspoken words when I’ve nothing to say
Paths that I’ve taken that have led me to here
All that i see always seems so unclear
Those that I've ran from and those that I’ve chased
Love's that I’ve lost and battles I’ve faced
Riddles I have in the depths of my mind
Answers i search for but failing to find*

*Lost in the present where all my yesterdays fill my mind.
Hoping for better things and what tomorrow's i may find.
Belief and dreams are gone for now.
But hope remains one day i'll shine.*
