Color Me (Addiction)

The lone, grey hours-

Drifting through the late night, I

Abide in shadows of my path behind

Here, now from yesterday

Forever from the future stayed

Will I ever see the night?

Void of rain, a sunset sky?

Now here I- alone await the morning

The day to run into the ground

The things I see the light I've found

To face the night's lone hours once more

Forlorn and empty a void so steep

Not to sleep or abide in peace

But in Solemn watching see

Each night will now yet pass by me

For I am still and silent there

For me to stay is all that's here

For me to leave is nothing there

And I'll be lost into the night

The sunset skies allude my sight

My truest self, the better me

Will fade again, for I can see

The grey I am, on which I dwell

Which isn't me, an empty shell

I'll find my dawn, alone and weak

And by myself, a change to see.

For in the night, though I knew not

A part of my old self did stop

On the path laid out it could not be

So in the night it watched me leave

I lost, this night, what did me in

And found that you were there again

Now then come, apart to me

The light I seek- to color me. . .
