All Night

My love for you is like rain constant all night long
Changing not in form nor power, braving the darkness of discouragement
Sitting here and feeling too depressed to act is discouragement
Rain is your fire in me giving endurance

Your love is like sleep, making life seem shorter
My feeble heart has insomnia, it foolishly fights the world alone
Give me a sleep with no dreams so I may awake in what seems five minutes
I want no drama, I want only quick refreshment

I am kept awake by my obligations so as these and you are not here
Maybe you would fix it all, then again, no you wouldn't
You are imperfect so am I. I love you still
If you murdered, not one raindrop of love would cease to fall

Love seeks not my pleasure it chases something else
Something that is unknown, something He has put down
All night you are here in spirit, you inspire this story
Of how you are like the sunrise, you bring morning's perfection

I would say more if it were not for my needs
All night dehumanize us all, it drains our worth
Except when there is rain, except when there is sleep
Except when their is morning
