Tonight (edit) (Free verse) by drnick
Your eyes swallow pain
Like the desert swallows rain
I'm falling down down
and back on my feet again
A shade of gray I comprehend
One that makes your mind expend
I've stalled on the tracks
and started a new trend
In the dreary cold of winter's night
You're my solemn bedside candlelight
I want to push you away
with intent to invite
Alas, you've stolen my rhythmic breath
To such an extent thereâs no more left
I'll be the willing victim
to such a beautiful death
