Two Worlds in Darkness
The city sleeps
A moment in time
As every shadow grows
The light in my eyes grows farther
Lights, far and distant
Glowing perpetually as the sky
Clouded over from rain
A message, but it is no more
Than a wish
Soft, wet sprinkles of life
Fall upon my hard fingertips
A door, a small flash
I try so hard to see,
To see only that I wish not to see
A gentle breath across my face
Ice cool against my pulsing flesh
The night grows deep blue at one side
The far country of the east
The orange sky to the west is the city
Quiet and calm
Pulsing and constant
Both joyous and calming
A light goes out,
Though I never saw it on
A door, once again
This ever-present light
Separates me
But my love is equal
In both worlds
The city sleeps
