Holding Out Until Dawn

It’s easy to be lonely

Unable to find your one and only,

It’s not that you’re so homely

But it creeps up on you so slowly,

Like a dark cloud over the park

Like the capture of Joan of Ark

Waiting forever for another spark

A broken heart has left its mark,

The futility of a meaningless life

Just inches away from the madman’s knife

Is there sanity in all the strife?

Should you gamble on another wife?

Society seems off the rails

Tune in at 6 for all the details

There’s always the asylum when all else fails

The blood of Jesus on a Roman nail,

The first time that I met you

Didn’t know what I was getting into

Had no idea what you’d put me through

Just dump my body in a sea of blue,

Still the sun will come around

Despite the fact that I’m earthbound

Just let me kneel on hallowed ground

No semblance of utopia that can be found,

I’m holding out until dawn

Amazing how a broken heart lives on and on

The pitter patter of rainfall on the lawn

I may be broken but I’m not gone.
