Nightlight

The early night caused my life to fade The broken skylight kept me too awake The chill deceived my mind And I was too afraid to cry The dying words that I had said I traded care to lead myself to death But I woke up once again The nightlight called my name The decision caught me out I would try to twist and shout But no one hears the things I say Now the nightlight looks okay I pierced the dark sky I see through hatred’s lies And now I cannot hide I see the monsters eyes There’s nothing to deceive Only my memories Only what I’ve seen But the evidence is me I wake to fade away There’s nothing left to say What’s in between will bring the day But it’s only a nightlight for the pain
