Edge of Morning Light

By doughunt

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

She waits at the end of the night, never sees morning lighta candle flickers from sightAnd she sleeps but can't hide from the cold, needing someone to holdher hunger never toldI'm that shadow on the wall, hear me whisper on the breezeI know I've stayed away too long at the edge of morning lightOne night is too little and so much, I tremble at your touch,then our good-byes are rushedAnd I lie and wonder where you've gone, did we miss the morning suncould I have been so wrongI'm that shadow on the wall, hear me whisper on the breezeI know I've stayed away too long at the edge of morning lightI wait at the end of the night, never see morning lighta candle flickers from sight Written October 10th, 1978 © on Aug 28 2001 03:10 AM PST   0 • 10
