I wait in starless darkness for the dawn

As if my  heart has roots   which have been torn
I need protection for my tender skin
I wait in  starless darkness for the dawn

My eyes are heavy and I am forlorn
I’m wounded  yet I’m willing to begin
Repair my  heart  whose roots  have been  so torn

My energy and purpose have both gone.
My skin  does not protrct;it is too thin
I wait in  starless darkness for the dawn

The world seems different now my love has gone
I have no loving  arms to lie within
Nor repair my  heart  whose roots  have been  so torn

It’s I who am  now different ,of love shorn.
A harlot who gives love to anyone
I wait in  starless darkness for the dawn

My eyes gape  like black holes bereft of sun
Shoot me,God, with your own devil’s gun
For my  heart has roots   which have been torn
I wait in  starless darkness  as holes yawn
