To open the door

When darkness calls

Reminding me of how

So often

What I longed for was absent

It seems as though this night

Will last forever

And I forget how the sun feels

As it kisses my sun

On those early summer mornings

And as the merry go round

Spins

Taking me on a trip

That leads me nowhere new

Only to the dead end places

Then the memory

Of how sweetness tastes

Is lost

And I forget that nothing bitter

Lasts forever

For out there somewhere

Is a bright day

Just waiting for me

To open the door

And embrace the sun
