I Wrote Something
Midnight Shadow
Though many people
Stop and stare
On many a night
She is waiting there
For just a glimpse
Of secret longing
That one of these nights
Will bring belonging
To him, the one
She knows so well
For many a year
She could not tell
Nor could he know
Nor even care
To melt the ice
Inside her there
It seems to her
She has always known
That in the end
She would be alone
The years of trying
All spent in vain
Now nothing left
To keep her sane
Though many people
Stop and stare
On many a night
She is waiting there
For just a glimpse
Of secret longing
That one of these nights
Will bring belonging
To him, the one
She knows so well
For many a year
She could not tell
Nor could he know
Nor even care
To melt the ice
Inside her there
It seems to her
She has always known
That in the end
She would be alone
The years of trying
All spent in vain
Now nothing left
To keep her sane
