Monkton

Shadows under my eyes darken
With the passing of light
Warm turns to cold turns to black
Black remains until warm fights back

On the warmest days
On the coldest nights
I found my home in your eyes

Sleep
Would come sporadically
Waking me erratically
Inward reflection
Offers the ugliest sight

I’ve watched the lines on my face grow
Like shadows at day’s end
And I’ve lost control, I wander alone
Until in your eyes, I found my home

On the warmest days
On the coldest nights
I found my home in your eyes

And if our happiest moments
Are truly seldom to linger
Then I know I’ve watched them
Fade away with you

On the warmest days
On the coldest nights
I found my home in your eyes
