A Cold Night

I can live through this night
When the world is asleep.
There was a time when i was busy now,
You were moaning and murmuring in my ears
The holiest words of the soul of the world.
And I took you up in my arms not realising the morning was drawing near,
I didnt bring the curtains down,to prevent the light from coming in,
O our sweet darkness!!
For I was sure that our blanket would keep away all the glares far.

But the dawn had arrived much before,
And the bright light blinded your eyes.
You were so blind- you failed to look
that my hands werent enough to bring the curtains down.
And you never lent me your hands.
The light faded away all the fairytale dreams
waking me up.
I thought I could but I failed to control the light.

Now I stand awake in the cold night!
Though I have drawn the curtains this time,
The blanket is gone forever.
It is too cold and this night seems harsh-
Its tough but am trying to stay awake,
Hoping that you will once again cover me with the blanket.
