Silent Yearning

In the hush of the night, a city sprawls,Lights like whispers, gentle calls.The rooftops wear a dusky shroud,
Silent beneath a starless cloud.

From my window, I peer into the gloom,
A heart heavy, an empty room.
Each light a beacon, each shadow a sigh,
Reminds me of you, so far, so nigh.

The houses sleep, but I remain,
Awake with thoughts, a sweet, soft pain.
Memories flicker like the distant glow,
In the quiet streets, where shadows flow.

I miss you in the city's hum,
In the night's embrace, I come undone.
Your absence, like the dark, profound,
In every light, your face is found.

The rooftops echo silent pleas,
In the cool, nocturnal breeze.
Wish you were here, beside me now,
To share this night, to show me how.

To fill the void with whispered dreams,
As silent as the city's beams.
But till you return, I'll watch and wait,
Underneath this starless slate.

For in the night, my heart does yearn,
For your touch, for your return.
In this city's quiet, my love will stay,
A light in the dark, till the break of day.
