Cold Rainy Night

poem by: Chris Fortune
Written on Dec 23, 2015

It's a cold rainy night and I sit here alone.
I sit here by myself but I am not lonely.
Too many nights waiting by the telephone.
I just wanted for you to be my one and only.

It's a cold rainy night and I'm waiting to exhale.
To exhale the feelings that have calloused my heart.
And in the midst of all this my heart is impaled.
But I will get myself together the longer we're apart.

I have more to live for than I have ever realized.
Every breath of life is getting more precious to me.
I will not keep feeling like I've been ostracized.
I will keep moving forward to set my heart free.

But I still sit here alone on this cold rainy night.
Contemplating on what has been and what will be.
Faithful and hoping the future will hold a guiding light.
To free me from the emptiness conjured up inside of me.
