when my eyelids close
you flit away
again today
when the sky darkens
the devil unburdens
giving all his sorrow to me behind the curtains
when the night is deep
the angels sleep
and with their consciousness goes the secrets they keep
when it begins to rain
it marks the return of the pain
eating away at my brain
when you hear the start of the etude
on comes the solitude
and you find it awfully rude
and when i'm done writing this poem
the colors will fade away
all of the hope sinking into the gray
for when it's typed and i can lock the box and put it away
i will have to return to a day of dismay
