Why Does the Sun Hide From Me?

Why does the sun hide from me?
I need its warmth and light
A silvery moon out of reach
I stand before you unseen

Darkness spills into the street
Blankets me in sheets of black
Haunting are breaths in shadows
Mercy I cry out defeat

Weeps the willow as night falls
Downward their branches do mourn
Sorrow lifts eyes heavenward
Dear Faith will you heed my call?

With weary soul I hearken
A voice no longer my own
End this death I am living
My heart has already gone
