When Midnight Comes

It's past midnight - I couldn't sleep Is it because of the memories that haunt me deep? Am I awakened by the horrors I could think of? By what awaits me tomorrow which I'm afraid of? It must stop! It must end! This torment must cease to exist! At least in this dark hour 'til comfort meets me Give me peace - I need it badly! Why doesn't my mind stop thinking? And tie the thoughts to their leash? Have I done something wrong? Have I behaved poorly all along? Merciful God, I beg of You! Put me to rest once again this night! You know my plans, you know my goals Please, make everythihg right! I am weak, my Lord, forgive me! I am unworthy Lord, but have mercy! Spare me once again from Your wrath Let my eyes close 'til it's daylight... aghhh! What is this?! What is happening?! Such excruciating noise! I couldn't stand it! "Wake up now. It's 10 in the morning." "O good heavens, was it all a dream?" Copyright © 2016 John Jeremy A. Semeña All Rights Reserved
