THE NIGHT IS LONELY

I could feel her sadness deep within

Like we both share the same memories

Water flowing down the river to the stream

Forged with a heart subtle and meek

As it Journeyed away on the night train

Like a tree trimmed of it branches

The night could only stare at her feelings stolen

Harmattan is near, tears she couldn't shed

Mournful but a privilege of sober reflection

She couldn't help but despise the world

For letting her alone to wade her grief

Of unloved and a compromised trust

I hope the night don’t stay forever sad

Stars with gratitude’s will lend her a smile

So her heart at dawn wouldn't be solemn

WISH I COULD

Wish I could chase the world

Catch up with things I could never had

Imagine if I could walk ahead of time 

I would change my past before it started

OUT ON THE COLD

I stood out on the cold waiting for you

Couldn't find the joy I get when am with you

I could lite a bonfire, but my heart it can't keep warm

Not when it can't find you around at dawn

It's not perfect a world without you

The sun can't make the day brighter without you

Just as stars, the night will not be beautiful without you

Only in you will I find what the heart seek

Only in you does one get the feeling of a heart beat

It bears an everlasting love that comes with the warmth of your smile

Out on the cold I need stay until I hold you in my arms

I have got nothing in this world that gives the heart joy

But the love and affection found in your bosom alone

I will keep my heart open forever waiting for you
