Cold Dark Night

By BBennettJ • Mar 5th, 2008 • Category: Poems

You know that feelin you get

Of being so alone and down

Useless, nameless, no one cares

Your shadow fadin’ on a cold dark night

 

What’s it for — is this really me?

Or is this just to teach me

Others fears, they really do

Have days and lives that leave them blind

And lost and like

A shadow fadin’ on a cold dark night

 

Been round the town, up and down

The coast and most of the time

I’m meetin’ people who say

They don’t feel nothin’ - wish they could

Thought they would, but now

They’re just like

A shadow fadin’ on a cold dark night

 

Well, daylight comes every day

Must be a place for me where I can

Get up and get away

And find the light

Not just a shadow fadin’

But livin’ right, walkin’ free of that

Cold dark night
