Some nights are long and dreary

Some nights are long and dreary,

Shadows move within..

The darkness fills my heart.

Some voices speak forever,

In words I've heard before,

And yet, I comprehend

No meaning-- just a sound.

Some people move in closer,

And warm the atmosphere;

I can feel the presence,

A distant breathing sound.

I journey to the worlds,

I thought were so remote,

My limbs so numb and weary,

Fail to feel and touch,

And yet I sense so strongly,

A loved one in my room.

Years have come between us,

Like moments they have passed.

Yet, there's this sense of loss;

There was so much to say and tell,

So much to do together......

Perhaps, the heart is bleeding,

For distance aches the soul,

You're always so near me,

But I still miss you so much!

Your memory comes alive,

In sad and silent days,

And shadows move within

the nights -so long and dreary!!
