In the Dark

Sitting in the dark
With my thoughts
I hear screams
The cry for
Love
Agony shouting
Where can it be?
Will I find it?
Is there enough
Tears with fears
Of being
Abandon
As I wrap in
Emotions in the
Rapture
Wondering aimlessly
In the Dessert sun
Seeking my
Oasis
Sitting in the dark
Haunted by being
Pretty enough
Thin enough
Rich enough
As the list
Goes on
When am I ever
Going to be
Your love song
Sitting in the dark
Dreaming and scheming
Of my next love affair
The kiss on the lips
A day at the fair
Sitting in the dark
Waiting for the sun
To rise
The dawn of a new
Day
The darkness has
Gone
Imagining my love
on the way
