Enemy of my Heart The night was once my ally Bringing you closer to me Under cover of darkness. Our voices Lowered to a whisper. Hushed tones over phone lines. Intimate conversations While the world slept. When you were just a voice, Twilight was my friend. The cloak of night Kept the dawn at bay, Where reality waited. You are now my reality, No longer a fantasy in my mind. And nightfall taunts me, Reminding me that you are no longer Here. How did she turn on me? Moonlight dances across my walls Casting shadows on the Empty side of my bed Where you once laid. Midnight has become An enemy of my heart. ------------------ It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley Visit my poetry website: www.geocities.com/Paris/Musee/9954/ |

Midnight has always been a turning point for me. Interesting point of view you have here, though it is well written and said. ------------------ Now and forever my heart hears ~one voice~. DreamEvil© |
