I Watched While the World Slept

I Watched While the World Slept The simple minds are sleeping On the threshold of the moon While nocturnal wolves are weeping None hear the barkers swoon Darkness is uncertain Most will never see The other side of the curtain Yet I’m awake perpetually Miles of asphalt vacant It belongs to me When the sun runs rampant I relinquish it reluctantly Dying quasars gleaming Exclusively for me A million suns rotating Under weight of gravity A sleeping world doesn’t see When my day has begun The night belongs to me It’s in this that I’m undone Confined to solitary!
