Will You Stay?

Sunsets long for an audience to love their limited beauty,

 I hope I've captured your eyes enough to make you stay.

But darling, this is midnight, and the colors have faded silently.

I lay awake, searching the dark sky for burn marks where colors once danced.

and although fire still burns bright long after the world falls asleep.

I'm scared my love for you will burn long after yours turns to ashes.

Sunrises  are meant for people with hope in their sleepy eyes

and I guess it's time I start becoming a morning person.
