Into the Night

Into the Night, she went.
A message caught, relayed, sent;

She left nothing in passing traces,
No mark, no sign, nor smile on faces
And passing took the only places
Where I was safe with her.

She made the sun, stars and sky
With hand of angel, an artists eye
And just as soon, I forgot to ask why
She would even go away.

The pictures taken were memories
To leave a trail of you and me
Back to the places, we had been
And never would go again.

She laughed, she cried, she took joy
From life each day, my heart employ
A single beat for what he did destroy
In simple, shattered steps.

I knew the tears she never shed
The hands that tended wounds which bled
And when at night, we took to bed
She'd sing a lonely song.

They say they know her heart and soul
They say they know it took its toll
But only I can know in whole
The girl behind those eyes.

She whispered when the night grew dark
And cradled up my broken heart,
And when she's gone, I fall apart
Without the sweetest girl.

Into the Night, she went,
My message caught, delayed, but sent.
