Day and Night
When the first light breaks
the night to day
When the morning wakes
and the streetlights fade
Every moment
Every breath
Just one of many
so many left
The coming dawn
The endless light
no bit withdrawn
no end in sight
Till every passing hour fades
till every lingering memory stays
When noise subsides
When silence spreads
when the lights begin
to bleed in red
Here I lie
nothing left to dream
I had my time
or so it seemed
let it go
let it die
the want
the need
let it pass over
bursting
like a bad dream
Give up now
Hold your peace
There's no one left
To watch it cease.
