Despair

A cold, misty winter morning. It's dark

Been that way since you left

A chill breeze blows through my hair

Or is it your breath on my neck?

You looked around, down, sighed

Ignored my questions and explained nothing

The door creaked as it swung in, out

Gentle, if it weren't disturbing

Come back, my love, my life

The days seem long without you

I dread the nights, silent, wistful

Dry eyes, numb hands, hoarse throat

I know you're with him and won't hear me

Maybe the gun will work

Which way shall it point

If my prayers don't work?
