Lying in the dark <br />A baseball game <br />so quiet on the radio <br />Freezing air blows through the open window <br />the station screen <br />so damn bright <br />and I think of you <br />lying in a bitter freezing midnight <br />whisper words from perfect haunting songs <br />the icy air <br />freezes tears <br />rain in my eyes <br />close but far far away <br />do you sleep <br />or do you lie in sorrow <br />a biting wind stroking your skin <br />like the dream in my angry mind <br />do you lie awake at midnight <br />my face in your mind <br />do you freeze and shatter <br />for me <br />for midnight is here.<br /><br />Claire Lang<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/midnight-49/
