Darker Nights

Empty evenings in the park
You leave your bench, it's getting dark
Drag yourself back to your place
Sore feet and a sour face
The thing about such a sunny day
You know it's never here to stay
The park closes at sunset too
And leaves behind an orphaned you

Streetlamps never seem to be good light
You walk on wishing t'was a darker night..

Your house's alit with a dingy gray
Like somebody's left it this way
Loneliness smells and angst reeks
No one's been home for quite some weeks
The thing about such an emply place
You know it's never just a phase
The power goes at the same time too
And leaves behind an orphaned you

You're too tired to put up a decent fight
You sit down wishing t'was a darker night..

Just as it starts to look like it rained
Your phone rings; it's an old old friend
He wants to chill, and grab some beer
You aren't only lost soul here
The thing about a lonely day
Is that it can go away
Of course it will come back too
And there will be a more orphaned you

But while it's gone, you have an appetite
And maybe it's less of a darkened night..
