how long till tomorrow
how many nights with darkness filled
shadows on the walls flickering
like memories that never fade
how many dreams that will end
slipping through my mind like cold mist
that linger into the daytime
like chilled droplets upon the skin
questions that have no answers
from lingering shadows cast in the night
visions that were so clear then
casting troubles within my mind
how often will I cry out
screams of pain that no one hears
and tear tracks from my sorrows
tears falling quietly upon the ground
