To tender memories naïve.
I’ll be okay, just not tonight.
Still plea to persevere despite
All empty hope that does deceive
With darkness creeping, I hold tight.
Obscure heads bowed in candlelight,
Dancing shadows of all who grieve.
I’ll be okay, just not tonight.
Infectious laughter rasped with might,
Silver linings I did believe.
With darkness creeping, I hold tight.
Suffocating all day’s light,
Engulfing me I try to leave.
I’ll be okay, just not tonight.
Today, alone, I have no fight
To give on time’s approaching eve,
With darkness creeping, I hold tight.
I’ll be okay, just not tonight.
