Goodnight, Lady

An emptiness looms,
Through every room,
A fog so grey,
Where history bloomed.

Bleak days arrive,
Where memories lie,
A longing, a feeling,
When happiness died.

I feel your skin,
Against my skin,
A dream so vivid,
A smile within.

Goodnight, Lady
And kiss her cheek.
Dream sweet, Baby
Until you wake.

Her scent resides,
An oasis inside,
The fog gets thicker,
With every stride.

An army of soldiers,
A lining of coldness,
Strength in numbers,
But victory in boldness.

A stare so stern,
Eyes that burn,
An explosion of life,
Upon your return.

In my eye, a tear,
I live in fear,
I count the seconds,
To see you here.
