Oh doors, doors that close,
And doors that open so suddenly onto the pleasant meadow of the heart.
Pain, pain and shame, knowing the wrong I've done
But somehow the sight of you erases the pain
Like a little boy, you were walking
Pretending not to see, but i saw you pretending
It broke my heart to see you.
I thought I was done crying, but a flood of tears fills my glass as I relive its memories.
I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted you to see.
But i did hurt you, and I'm sorry.
Now we are truly like ships passing in the night.
Lights that no longer beckon announce the danger of approaching.
Straight forward you travel,
And from some dark aside, i watch, i weep.
In the distance Heaven churns,
Somewhere above the waves.
But there is no ship to carry me there.
The cold spray and blackened rocks delight cruelly in themselves.
Standing on the shore of desire
I watch you go.

Ships in the Night
Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
~William Cowper
