In the dark

 I wait in the dark for a word of love,

A whisper soft from the stars above,

In silent hope, my heart does yearn,

For a touch, a glance, a love’s return.

I wait believing it will come,

Through the quiet night, my senses numb,

Each moment stretches into years,

A river of unspoken fears.

I wait in the dark for a word of love,

A sign, a promise, a gentle shove,

To break the silence, end the night,

To bring my heart into the light.

In shadows deep, where dreams reside,

I keep my faith, though time has lied,

For love, I wait, with steadfast soul,

A patient vigil to make me whole.

Though days turn cold and nights grow long,

I hum the notes of love's sweet song,

I wait in the dark for a word of love,

A beacon bright, a soaring dove.

For in this stillness, hope remains,

A quiet strength amidst the pains,

I wait in the dark for a word of love,

To light my path to skies above.
