Nightime...

I feel a collosal loss
Deep in my heart it preys
It colors my world black
I have no strength to pray

Where have all my loved ones gone?
And why did we have to part?
The sound of cricketts surround me
While the memories break my heart

Colorful smiles lightened hopes
The ones we shared along the paths
Faith and joy carried bountiful dreams
Unto our hearts - did they last?

Oh help this sorrowful soul,
I plead, for I am in dismay
I can no longer see beyond
The dismal array.
