regret for a compass

I sit and watch as the western skies 
turn the night black
the cold doesn't bother me 
but the loneliness takes a heavy toll

I dreamed last night of better yesterdays
sunshine, warmth , love and honor 
it turns out to be their nothing more than
a illusion of a fantasy

As the sky turns black tonight I feel as if
I'm the last man left standing with nothing 
more than regret for a compass

to guide me
