Alone in the Dark: A Poetic Reflection

---

Alone in the Dark and Cold

(Verse 1)
The wind came howlin’ through my old front door,
Shook the windows, rattled the floor.
Took the power, left me in the night,
Alone in the dark, no end in sight.

(Pre-Chorus)
It’s just me and the shadows, a lonesome dance,
Flickering memories, a second chance.

(Chorus)
Alone in the dark, with a heart grown cold,
No fire to warm me, no hand to hold.
The wind keeps whisperin’ a mournful tune,
As I sit here waitin’ under a faded moon.

(Verse 2)
The kettle’s quiet, the clock has stopped,
No buzz from the fridge, just a hollow knock.
I light a candle, watch the shadows grow,
The silence louder than I’d ever know.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every creak of the floor, every gust outside,
Feels like a ghost that I’m tryin’ to hide.

(Chorus)
Alone in the dark, with a heart grown cold,
No fire to warm me, no hand to hold.
The wind keeps whisperin’ a mournful tune,
As I sit here waitin’ under a faded moon.

(Bridge)
Oh, the power may come back, but it won’t heal the ache,
Of nights spent alone, the mistakes I can’t shake.
The wind’s got a way of tellin’ the truth,
Bringing back heartache and the pain of my youth.

(Chorus)
Alone in the dark, with a heart grown cold,
No fire to warm me, no hand to hold.
The wind keeps whisperin’ a mournful tune,
As I sit here waitin’ under a faded moon.

(Outro)
The power’s still out, but I’m finding my way,
Through the dark and the cold of another lost day.
Maybe the wind’s just a voice I should hear,
Whisperin’ courage through the cold and the fear.

I wish Toby Keith was around to sing this one…

Instead I’ll attach they call the wind “Maria”
