Nocturne...

Why sit waiting for the coming Dawn?
Would that it would rise one morn
to find my blanket cold and me gone
Too long on this cold hard rock i've been on
and it's only the third one from the sun
Closer and i would burst into flame
further and my blood would freeze in my veins
So it appears i'm stuck here,
alone again unnaturally...
Actually in a little while from now
i may seek out that very same tower,
just to look, to see what it took,
if you need any special power
If all it takes is that first step,
who would think you need any help
but things seen between Nothingness and Eternity
sometimes grab you by the collar
to bring you back to Earth and the sad reality
makes you wish you had put up more of a fuss and holler
either way, you're still alone
the decision, always your own;
why wait for the Dawn?...
