This Night

This Night

Breath is heavy, hands shake.
The night approaches, she lies awake.
Her heart pounds as she contemplates.
Will he come to her this night?

He hears her breathing, in his thoughts.
The light fades slowly, his mind wrought
He wonders how long he has fought.
Will he go to her this night?

Can he betray all he has known,
For you, the one for who he says love has grown?
Will he ever have love for you alone?
Will he come to you tonight?

Is she unworthy of your love true?
Will she ever know if you will pursue,
the hand and heart she gives to you?
Will you go to her this night?

Heat of passion, knows my soul
The love between us, this fight is old.
Darkness of understanding, my mind foretold.
You will not come to me this night.
