Trespassing

Streetlights on like clockwork
The night was creeping in
Another step from where you are
And where we might have been

My faith, so light and fragile
Soft rising through the air
Chasing rays of daylight
Dropping shadows of despair

Stranded at the crossroads
Of a thousand yesterdays
The ghost of beauty beckons
But her eyes, they turn away

Darkness falls around me
As I fumble for a light
Take a drag, brace myself
And step into the night

Jeff Kurfess, 1997
