The Longest Night

This life... This is my longest night, Never a star, Never glistening moonlight, To dream of the sun and its impossible warmth, Was always an inconceivable dream, I would settle for dimly lit stars and occasionally moonbeams, I wrapped myself in obscurity, Trusting the night to hide me from a daylight that would never come, Longing for time to stand still, But my anguish was unable to possess it, Longing for morning to come, To end this longest night.
