Long nights now without you

 

There I am again
on the slopes of a long hill
looking further at the depths,
the darkness.


There is only the time we have alone
one day living within shadows
alone.


One day embracing what we want
fading further like horizons.


The only pain there is, is silence-
the numbness of emotion.


All there is now is withstanding
long nights without lamp lights
and sweet songs and soft hugs.

Long nights now without you.
