~

All night we feared

that the light would not come.

All day we feared

when the light would be done.

We aren't here to savor it

or dance in its rays,

Only to forget

the presents days

Though our feet were wet,

the water was gone.

And the day had left until the dawn.

And we sat without you

on the edge of night.

We no longer feared

the fear of fright.
