IN THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT

In the watches of the night,
I watch for you, wait for you,
haunt for you,
bleed for you
break down on my knees for you --
 and in your gratitude for me
you show me disregard,;
a malfeasance
which breeds loneliness,
and cold nights for the soul,-
and I weep.
But still,
I watch for you.
wait for you,
haunt for you,
bleed for you,
In the watches of the night.
