Lights On
I would leave the lights on
if that will bring you back home.
Too many nights
I walk the hall and check each room
in hopes of finding you there, sleeping peacefully.
The shadows are all that remain
haunting the walkway you once took routinely.
In the quiet still of the dark night
I find I am lost without you
ever longing and recalling other nights together.
The darkness and silence surround me
and alone now, I leave the lights on - hoping and waiting
that you'll return
if only ion my dreams.
