In The Still of the Night

A sonnet-styled poem about love, betrayal, abandonment.

In The Still of the Night

?

In the still of the night when your love’s away
And you shiver as you draw the drapes closed
You’ll think of me, and you’ll think of the day
You rejected all the love I proposed.
In the still of the night when I’m dancing
In the arms of some devilish young man
See visions of me constantly prancing
In your mind, star-kissed, moonlit, on the sand.
As waves crash on the shore with majesty
And the sea foams and swells with excitement
You’ll ponder why you desired to be free
And if by ‘love’ this is what I had meant.
You may think of me now without sorrow,
But you’ll crave me with passion tomorrow.
