I would not be the sun to end your night, <br />Nor would I be the wall to turn your tears. <br />But I will watch with you until it's light. <br />Because there are no words to set things right <br />Nor hopes that one immersed in mourning hears, <br />I would not be the sun to end your night, <br /> <br />Offering a wisdom far too bright <br />To soothe your pain or put to rest your fears. <br />But I will watch with you until it's light. <br /> <br />There must be time to grieve that sorrow might <br />Be equal to the love of days and years. <br />I would not be the sun to end your night. <br /> <br />For grief, before it breaks, must reach its height, <br />And tides must turn before one homeward steers. <br />But I will watch with you until it's light. <br /> <br />There are agonies no friendship can requite, <br />A bitterness unstained till dawn appears. <br />I would not be the sun to end your night. <br />But I will watch with you until it's light<br /><br />Alii Cat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/would-not/
