Late Night Latch Key

At the foundation loneliness was laid.
  With lights extinguished and sounds of tick-toc
Though unintentional, a price is paid
  Waiting for love with eyes on the clock

Even today, in the wee dark hours 
    At the time when eyelids should be closed shut
The man still suffers persistent Powers
    His body with love longing to be touched

My late night companions quiet, darkness 
  are joined by uncertainty and friend fear
The desire to be loved constantly with no rest
  Has brought to the eye an arrested tear

Then, were thoughts of weary lamentations
    Today, occasioned by conversations
