Late Night Apologies

Late night apologies

Frustrated tears that I can’t cry

I can’t reach out and touch you

But I wish that I could try

 

Late night benedictions

Truth is, you are good to me

I enjoy it all, laughter and fights

Just wonder how to make you see

 

Here I am

And I wish you knew

So many things…

Like that it is okay

When you make me want to cry

The nights when all the jokes fall flat

I’m not looking for anything from you

I was looking for what I could give you…

So say goodnight

 

Don’t cry yourself to sleep

Not tonight, not ever again

We don’t have to be so lonely

Not in a redeemed world
