City lights blink on and off,

Shutters closing as people settle down to sleep

But tonight i will not sleep

My light remains on, shutters open,

The winter breeze flutters in, icing my eyes closed but i won’t let them shut

So i see past my frozen tears

And watch the people rush down below

I watch until there is nobody left and the stars disappear from the sky

Until my tears thaw and slide down my face

It is then I know you will not come.
