day and departure

deafening silence
it's all loneliness
it's morning
and you aren't there
guided me through the night
held my hand along
i could never really see you
it was dark
and i was blind
but i trudged along
waiting for the dawn
just to see you
put a face to that voice
that consoled me, encouraged me
loved me
the sun shines down
and i cringe back in fear
i long for your hand in mine
i'm afraid

i'd go back to the night
if only to hear your voice again...
