The Stillness of the Night

We are no more in the stillness of the night

 

To be a thought, was once a gift, but now

 

Your confessions of love seem much too trite.

 

Thus now these thoughts of love I don’t allow.

 

To be or not to be– just gone and dead

 

In life we die, alas, do we all live?

 

I think we not, for tears which been shed,

 

For lies which have been said, I can’t forgive.

 

The sun of the morning does rise with grace

 

Yet still nothing to see, nothing to feel,

 

There is mistake that none can erase.

 

All of this time I spent dreaming was real.

 

A once, the trumpet of the morn will crow

 

She shall have denied me ‘least thrice I know.
