Night From Day
Eerily they have all returned,
my past lovers from far and wide.
Ghosts of heratics long since burned
passionately come to my side.

I look at them with detachment
unable to understand, why?
They return to this entrenchment
instead of taking to the sky.

I must greet them tentativly
for I have been away so long,
away from such depravity
wicked wind with a tragic song.

As I build a home all alone
they fill the rooms with sentiment.
Their hands clutch at my flesh and bone
free of the hurt and resentment.

And I look long into their eyes
for a gleem of a future bright,
but all hope for that slowly dies
the arms of the past hold me tight.

Cold comfort on a night like this,
now that I know the other way.
Unable to find humanly bliss.
Unable to tell night from day.
