Dark of Night

Dark of night; Angels in flight.
Darkness hues; coloring all of my views.
Take these stakes, the cause of my heartbreak.
I can see Home; so why must I stay,
In a place where everything is taken away.
Darkness hues; stakes are higher,
The darkness is not my funeral pyre.
Home calls its child to stay; in an attempt to take the darkness away.
But not for me but for others. Now the darkness no longer smothers.
I breathe for Home and remain to stay. Now that I 
know what drives the darkness away.
