In The Night

In the night
I was alone
And yet I hang onto the last fragile thread of life
Because of you

In the night
In the dark
Alone a fantasy goes unabated still
All about you

In the night
I lie down
My mind aflow with thoughts and fantasies
Yet I am still

In the night
Cold bright night
I contemplate my existence without you
My body still

In the night
When death comes
I look back on my life and ask myself why
I cannot love

In the night
The last night
The night that I discover I am condemned
Never to love

In the night
