Night

The nights long kiss,
deadly yet not sweet,
everlasting loneliness till you sleep,
yet slumber never lasts,
till you loose your breath away,
mind churning yet not working,
despair is all you hear,
remembers of yesteryears never leave,
never leaving no never taking a break,
till the nightly fog makes you see it all,
waiting wanting dawn to strike,
oh heaven who can take this nights long kiss.
