It’s another quiet night,
You’re not here to take my hand
This makes a long night
Difficult to endure
Electronic voices take your place
It’s a pale comparison
Sometimes the silence is preferable
But this brings the thoughts
Some are welcome fiction
Others are interminable
At times they flow
Driving one thought after another
Difficult to contain the flood
Those are the times i crave a stimulant
Smoking away years of my life
Anything to gain focus
To slow things down
Bringing one into play at a time
Or drowning them out
Desperately clinging to a few
Searching for creativity
Among the throng
Sorry but i must go
I must seek calm
Hopefully you will be back soon
A pleasant distraction
From the alone times
Peace be with you
