When morning came
without you
once again
I did not cry
I did not scream
or beg
I accepted it
I know
I will never
meet you
and try as
I might
I know
I can never
hold you in
my arms
and wake
with you
still beside me
try as I might
I cannot
pull you
through
the velvet curtain
of the dreaming
and I know
I should be
contented
just to see
you in
my dreams

2000 the nocturnal boy
by pattikeno
my heart broke again today
wanting and waiting and wasting away
Another moment lost
another tear to fall
he could have changed my life
he could have rocked my world
waiting and wanting and wasting away
lost once more on the sea
of yesterdays past
of people lost
moments gone
disappeared
they glare in front of me
making me ache
making my heart break
over and over again
i just want to hide
i just want to hide away
and lose myself
i just want to be lost
lost again
i don’t want to see
i don’t want to see
what i know I can NEVER have
what i know i can NEVER be
i don’t want to see
waiting and wanting and wasting away
i lost another one today
i lost another one today
whimper want or whisper stay
i lost another one today
