TOO MUCH


 

Awake! For love’s sake, that cries all night

The darkness waits to fill the room with light –

   All night long the heart seeks your touch,

But to the soul only comes a silent hush . . .

Awake! For love’s sake, the pain is too much!

   I wait for dawn, but time gets in no rush –

I lie in silence as if I need to say:

“You broke my heart – you took love away,”

   Even in my dreams you won’t let me be!

And in this darkness the world cannot see –

The loneliness that the night always brings!

   And yes, it’s your memory my heart clings!

Awake! For love’s sake, I have cried enough,

And without you this life is just too tough!
