In A Dark, Silent Night

19. In A Dark, Silent Night

“So near, yet so far away”
It’s been said before
And it’s so cliché
But it’s so forgettable
As I don’t want to stay
I want to go
Travel far away
And leave all this behind
Behind, with nothing to say
In a dark, silent night

In a dark, silent night
All things take their toll
But only the poet remains
Eyes dark as coal
No more money, only love
Something that can’t be stole
These words mean nothing to you
There’s only one way to be made whole
So why would I want the world
Only to lose my soul?
