Late Tonight

I placed the letter underneath your door, I had to creep down the stairs as silently as possible to do so. My heart is in my chest, racing. It glides under the frame and I say a silent prayer. “Please, do not let this be the end of it all.” The darkness of the night engulfs my figure. Now, more than ever I feel the loneliness of your touch in my life. Do you know, my friend, that I stand outside your door right now? Do you know that I’ve given my all to be the best person I can be in your life? Do you know that that I feared I failed? It is cold on so many levels tonight. You sleep on the other side of the door, I can hear you breathing. At least I can have that comfort in this world. You can take this all from me, but at least you cannot take my breath. Just one lost individual in the dark tonight. I could only pray for the light to return in the dawning of the new day.
