BLUE NIGHT

It rained heavily and I couldn't hid from her beneath the trees

She kissed my tentacles as I felt her soft touch on my lips

The evening was deep and the stars all gone

The wind was modest; she didn't want me out on the cold all alone

She gave me a pat on the back to move on

I ran in the rain as I head towards home

I wouldn't want my heart wet for I had no one at home 

Wished I knew not to had asked Cynthia to spend the evening back home

Guilt wouldn't allow me give her a call

How will I explain to her that my night will be colder?

When I told her earlier I was good, that tonight she need not bother

I embraced my fate for its going to be a long and cold night

Seems the rain understood my thought

Like she didn't mean to spoil my night

The out-pour got paused for few minutes for she was sober

She wished she could apologies by giving me a hug on the shoulder

Gratefully, I hit home and try to forget my misery

I prayed for an angel to come visit me tonight

And touch my heart where it's lonely most tonight
