Burning the Midnight Oil

The shadowy night lures me to my sleep
and these obscure eyes looking with deep serenity
Running in my head the words I can't keep,
My sluggish eyes waiting for eternity

I wait for dawn to come
But then this feeling will be long gone
The taste of black and white
devouring me to the light

I was kept enamored
Thought roses surely have withered
I knew what I had to face
because I can't keep up to your pace

Head bowed,
The letters were waiting to be read
I vowed,
this will not be my end
