Undone

In the darkness,
a single spotlight.
A sign of hope
A star to guide the way
Alone in this deserted town
Moon on the lake just outside
offers no solace tonight.
Awake in darkness
Sleeps the day
Your voice in echoes
fills the paint clad walls
Colour to drown in
Still undone

In the darkness
a single streetlight
A light to ring the changes
Peels out to this community
Drowned out
With whisky
and memory
Pulled asunder
The waves on shores
cry out
grab my ankles
reach out for more
Still undone
