Night Terrors

In the pitch darkness of the night
Where nightmares come to fright and haunt
I lie awake my heart in flight
In the pitch darkness of the night
Praying, pleading, for morning light
When fearsome terrors cease to taunt
In the pitch darkness of the night
Where nightmares come to fright and haunt

I've had this kind of long night that gets saved by the morning. I enjoyed this Margaret, even though its dark and fearful.
