Look upon the midnight sky
Start this like all the rest
Still just dreaming, still just crying
To this I must attest
Her picture lays beside my bed
The still frame can't condone
For I still sigh, and I still stare
Frustrated, left alone
My chances come, my chances go
Shot up in burning flame
Crashed and lost, out in the rain
Am I the one to blame?
Staring in a cracked mirror
See a false reflection
What's lost is gone, all but my pride
My arms have no reception
This dirt is grained into my hands
Can't seem to wash them clean
Let loose the quiver in my throat
Taste blood now when I scream
Still walk across the pond at night
But now I'm sinking in
All I want are hands to hold
To see shine back a grin
The bulb is cracked, the footsteps loud
Can hear the sandman's flight
For you I cast my only wish
And send my love tonight
Reason for writing:
I went away for the summer, and was unable to see a girl whom I had started a relationship with. Because of my absence, we are not together. One night I was looking at her picture, wanting to be with her.
