Dusk

Seasons melt in to each other

Daylight's slipping fast

Happens so quick you barely realise

Summer's finally passed

Colours change

Without a word or mention

It's almost like

You weren't paying enough attention

And every morning

Seems very slow to start

Feels like each day is missing 

It's energy, belief or heart

The faces that surround me

Turn silent as dusk descends

Relationships evaporate

With no way to make amends

Chasing down blind alleys

Looking all around

My footfalls echo here and there

But you make no sound

Wishing I could bring an end

To the listless night

Hope the brightness of the day

Makes everything all right

As the internal battle rages

The doubt and uncertainty

Are thoughts that are carried out on waves

That wash right over me

Emotions change

And I can feel your apprehension

Wishing I could bring some light

To relieve the stress and tension

The faces that surround me

Fold inwards as dusk descends

Relationships begin to free-fall

With no way to make amends

Chasing down blind alleys

Looking all around

My footfalls echo here and there

But you make no sound

Wishing I could bring an end

To the listless night

Hope the brightness of the day

Makes everything all right

I love the dusk

How the sun slips from the sky

Leaving a thousand cloudy colours

That really catch my eye

I love the dusk

But not the emotion that it brings

Makes me feel all inside-out

And changes so many things
