And still the night turns on


In slow motion
despair
rolls
down my face.

I know
tonight
he holds you
in the silvered silent dark
his arms
where mine should be.

I know
you know
these feelings
I hold for you.

I know
you know
he's lied to you
and lost
your trust
and still you cling
uncertain of your heart.

I have no rights
no claims
having waited
so long
to tell all in me.

There is no light
in this brillant story
no wind
in this airless
higher depth.

There is only now
the soundless cracking
of my heart
the fearless love
that will not give in
the fool
who believes
against the odds
and still
the night
turns on.
