A Nyctophile's Wish
Let all the light be gone,
And darkness sweep my bones.
A black veil that'll calm my soul,
That'll hold me down--
A escape before light fills the world.
Let all the light be gone,
The soft noises of the night to heal my heart.
Crickets, nightingales, owls;
Few cars and people moving around.
Let all the light be gone,
So I can be free, finally free,
From the bustling human world,
Close my eyes and enjoy the breeze
As darkness engulfs me.
