Night

I sit weeping in the solemn night The fire does nothing but warm Cruel was the day, to end the light Dark emptiness leading to scorn Some bring it as discovery That put me only in a hole My tears now have the best of me Piercing through my shattered soul My own soul was brought by night Now forsaking and giving this loneliness Pain gripping my spirit, of wrong and right No friendship abound me consists The truth of hatred brought I now despise Dreams bring longing of my homesick past To now just only close my eyes Is real peace brought at last? So dreams haunt and calm a broken spirit To do nothing but bring the arrogant sun Memories of night from now on, never rightly fit Being only as bright as the pessimistic one
