This warm summer night
On your back porch
No breeze stirring the trees
Or your hair
Darkness has just descended in the world
And your face
What have you brought me here for?
The crickets chirp, so long my salvation, my comfort
So long the serenade to your beauty
Turns to an ominous note
as I ponder the possibilities, my mind racing
Yet you just smile forlornly and look away
Unable to say what we both know, and fear
The stars come out above our heads
Your favorite sight
Yet you cannot raise you eyes tonight
Silently the embrace is felt
never to be forgotten
I am left alone
While the crickets chirp terrifies
and comforts
