LYING IN BED

 

Alone in bed

   The night is so still

Silence surrounds me

   Like shadows on a hill,

 

And a feeling comes over me

   Pounding in my head,

Why am I alone,

   And why is it truth I dread?

 

Thoughts of her

   My heart is filled with desire

O this loneliness

   Burns like a raging fire!

 

I feel the coldness of night

   Like snow on a hill,

I lie in this darkness

   Knowing love broke my will!

 

And I know that I

   Will have to face tomorrow

The sad truth

   Only I can bear this sorrow!
