Waiting For The Sun

Dawn is waking up soon
From a days slumber beneath the world
The sun should be coming home now
All it's shining brilliance unfurled

I await patiently for it's arrival
Counting down slowly in my mind
Hours pass and my thoughts linger
On the sunshine I cannot find

It's not getting any lighter
Shadows take advantage of this delay
Creeping in my memories
Cryptic images they display

I can't tell you how long it's been
Since the sun has shown his face
He left these hills so long ago
And let darkness take his place

Isn't this supposed to be a cycle?
The sun returns after the sky is black?
If so, why am I still in darkness?
My sunshine why haven't you come back?

You've left me here with empty hands
To fight the shadows all alone
Without your light to guide my way
I fall deeper into the unknown

Yet with all the pain you've put me through
I still keep waiting for the day
That my sun will come back home again
And make this darkness go away
