Long Days

Will this pain ever go away?.........

There's a scar that's been left upon my heart, bleeds black ink
Four thousand miles long and deep
Niles through the tapestry of clay surrounded by flesh and blood
It's width is days away, separated by love that no longer exist

Fallen to piece like leaves from a tree whisked by the autumn breeze
Winter to spring, summer to fall
It all comes by like a speeding train

This pain rains in sheets
Pourning down like nails driving into me
Harbringer of cold and grey, murderer of my blue azure

Candles upon my sill have all been extinguished
Windows to my soul have weathered, matching the mood upon the October grey clouds that have gathered outside

Like old once broken bones that knows when it's cold
Looking for the sun, reason to go on
Pencil lead sketch hides it from thine eyes, lamp that's been dimmed

These thirty one days of night under harvest moon
Have been longest than any of the other days of the year
