Another Nite

Another nite of loneliness
with you absent from my side
I search in vain for some relief
but none sheds the slightest light

Shadows cast their gloomy visions on the walls
creating portraits of my pain
The eerie lights pursue their fiendish artistry
time...and time again

Each minuscule sound is like laughter
as a mockingbird in spring
As if they're rejoicing at my misery
with every sound they ping

A myriad of lights and sounds
combine creating a cacophony of dread
As I lay here missing you
...laying in our bed

But it will soon be lite of another day
as I ponder my lonely plight
Cuz I know oh so well
that with the dawn comes another nite
