Midnight

Midnight

The clock strikes twelve!
The Hiding Hyde's wake up

Sleepless nights
With blank eyes wide open

The dead ghosts of your life
Don't let your eyelids droop

Actionable entanglements
Quake your damp pillows

Overinflated remorse
Erratically updates you at night 

These midnight attacks sadly
Terminate the silent sleep 

The days pass by peacefully, but
The midnight hours are unrequited
