Soliloquy

Whenever I hear the lark singing
And see the sun wake up to another fight
There is something that draws me in
And something that repels me
They are both present in identical measures
And they’re equally powerful,

Now bedraggled, tired and weary
This soul of mine is looking for company
It achieved tranquillity when you were around
But now, looking to flourish like a house on fire
It doesn’t have any friends around
None to call it by its name anymore,

So I can’t look at the sun rising on another day
Or hear the lark singing this song of longing
For I wistfully yearn for the days of yore
And crave that what you made me feel
For long after you were gone
That part of me was what kept me alive.
