In light of day 
I feel no more 
I work I play 
I shut the door 
to feelings only night does hold 
feelings deep within the cold 
this cold and icy wall that shields 
that which burns 
that which yields 
tosecrets no-one shall discover 
to dreams left vacant for my lover 
questions too come with the night 
to play the game or bare the light 
this light that shines its brightest when 
the Sun has gone 
thedark descends 
but why the thought so quickly gone 
when day arrives 
when rays of dawn 
pour through the windows 
upon the wall 
into thought 
erasing all 
I felt with night 
I thought with light 
that burns within
