Tonight

Tonight is difficult

dark and cold,

my heart is alone

no one to hold.

Anyone could fill them

well enough it’s true,

but could only remind me

that I’m waiting for you.

Tonight I ache

and rage and sigh,

impossible to cool

my feverish mind.

Tonight I want you

desperately, I do.

It’s you, that someone,

I just don’t know who.

Tonight will end

it’s nothing, it’s true

but always returns

until I find you.

Ughh.....like being faithful to someone you haven't met yet. Impossible to wait so uncertainly, and yet more impossible not to........

I hold her so tightly, and stare in her eyes,
with skin I can't stand and eyes I don't prize,
Tonight I ache and rage and sigh,
impossible to ignore my calculating mind,
But my heart, How it yearns!
How it screams in my sleep!
How it demands me a lover,
that I want to keep.
Tonight will end
and she'll wakeup with me,
alone in her company,
and still longing I'll be.
