Midnight Sadness
A hole in my heart
Tiny, certainly, but true
With poor tourniquet
I wish you were here
Lay beside me on the couch
In mind, if you must
As midnight sadness
Slowly washes out to sea
For a friend taken
I know you wouldn't
Belittle the sting of it
Or try to downplay
We assign value
To all those surrounding us
Sometimes it is lost
So come surround me
Like one who'll never let go
Like a soft blanket
Let's wait out winter
Warm wrapped in each other's arms
While the world floats on
Do not wait for night
When the button disconnects
And I am a shell
