The Darkness Calls

The pain of night, where my heart cries
Into the darkness my eyes wander
The pain of night, of being alone
Is oh so real any given night.
The pain of night, how the silence tortures me
My soul, cringing when the lights go out
Oh the pain of night…
Why do we frolic so?
Pain of night… can’t wait til tomorrow!

I stopped to read your poem tonight. I like it. Its always dark at night when I am called to sit and write no doubt alone in pain and so attached like a chain. And then the light appears rays of sun and cheers drying all the tears because today is yesterday's tomorrow. Just sayin.
