In the Mouth of the Lightless Night

I love the night,
I'm a candle
always burning
and never ending.

The night is my day
my love is a dream,
this fire can not
last for long time.

Longing for peace,
dreaming about
strange things
like love, like her.

She didn't allow
me to follow her,
she wasn't there
when I lost myself.

Time is a wasteland
(I know) and when
she is ready
I will be gone.
