The nights are silent,

the words fail me.

All I can do

is stare at her;

the bright light

in my darkness,

the truth

in my lies.

The days are long,

the words fail me.

It’s all I can do

not to touch her;

her skin ignites me

in a flame I must ignore.

But my actions

They betray me.

The years pass by,

the words fail me.

The distance between us

breaks me;

her smile slips

and I made it fall.

The darkness spreads,

the lies win.

The time’s too late,

but the words fail me.
