Solitary, downtown at the midnight hour,
Yesterday ejected, tomorrow suspended,
Interval of serenity between the hands.
Streetlights flickering, feet shuffling,
Wind ruffling, trash tumbling,
I can't get you out of my head.
A wasted past the memories construct
Shrines of yearning between the towers,
Extending high into the night above.
Clouds collapsing on a weary brain,
Overcoat pressed to the chest, in rain,
Skyline outlined by a giant's fist
Punching through the feeble mist.
Pavement cracked, shoes splashing,
Walking, balking, hour after hour,
Till the dawn shines her waking face.
Carelessly you left me, out on the streets,
Navigating this concrete labyrinth,
The days extending into weeks,
Weeks accumulating into months,
No time left to heal these wounds,
Succumbing to despair, bleeding faith,
The windows reshaped, reflecting a time
Once cherished, comfort lain by your touch,
Our joyful youth in the sunlight, now faded,
Trying to rediscover the radiance of morning.
