Silence (Nights Get Colder) Poem by William Mowell

The nights are getting colder
Without someone beside me
I wish I could just hold her
With my loves guarantee

My life is almost a quarter
Over with this life I've lived
I'm not even a supporter
And I have not one kid

I've only once felt the touch
Of sweet love and embrace
Some use it as a crutch
Some only enjoy the chase

I treasure the feeling
Of skin to sweet skin
It's like a spiritual healing
And I don't want just one spin

Washed up at twenty-two
Thats not very likely
I failed at the wooing
And broke off the key

I'm just a man with needs
I need to be held tightly
I don't need money to succeed
I try to be knightly

I don't ask for very much
Just some ones arms to lay
A gentle loving touch
And the night to stay

I don't need sex to feel good
Just some cuddling and talk
If I asked if you would
Would you stay or would you walk

Is there any more like me
This world is changing
Did all the gentlemen flee
My mind keeps ranging

I wonder does she think of me
The one that they call man
I wonder can she even see
Or did I ruin her plans

It wasn't supposed to go down like this
She wasn't supposed to leave
I never got a goodbye kiss
She hadn't the time to grieve

So did she really love me
Or was I really that nieve
I guess she wanted to be free
So she packed her shit to leave

She left without a goodbye
Only a lonely phone call
She's in love with another guy
As my heart started to stall

It's been awhile since that day
But still in my memory so clear
For her safety I still pray
Is she ok, I still fear

Another day and I'm still waiting
For my princess to find me
All these days and I'm still hating
The silence worse than a banshee
