Love Poem: Crying In the Night

Crying In the Night

Crying in the night
Standing on the edge
Ready to take flight
The one standing alone
Terrified of the heights
Lost and locked inside of yourself
Taking on a losing fight
All sense of hope is gone
Not any kind of faith in sight
Oh it was attempted
To hold on with great strength and might
The rope slipped from hands
That were holding on to tight
Clearly stumbling into bright darkness
Cause one has turned off the lights
Not does it matter as to what is wrong
And just who is right
All that is known at this moment is
Love seems to be blind and causing nothing but fright
With all this said and all that is done
Love is sometimes blind and causes all sorts of frights
Known at this moment who cares who is wrong
Or what is right
Stumble clearly in the darkness
Of the incredibly bright light
The rope that slipped from one hands
For holding on to tight
Can now once again be held with great strength and might
And can also be attempted
To finally find a new kind of sight
Of hope and of faith
Find and unlock the terror inside yourself
As you climb to the highest of new heights
You don’t have to be alone
Standing on that edge
Ready to take flight
No matter what anyone does love often leaves you
Crying in the night
