Day
what a hard time I have
letting you leave
your sprawling arms have
embraced me
your sweet warmth
has lulled me
your soulful cries
have torn my heart
and filled me with desire

Day
what a hard time I have
letting you leave
as night comes
with its own illusions
darkness folding
in upon my weary mind
brings soft and silent dreams
to fill the empty space
where I find cool and sweet repose

Yet
what a hard time
I have
Day
letting you leave
