The Night and Me

Stripped of light I witness the night at it's lowest It's an ugly one No stars, so no wishes Moonless, it's dark My eyes are drawn to it Or maybe drowned in it Sunken in my own Ocean of feelings My heart in my ears I listen and I breathe My heart in mouth I swallow how I feel My mind rambles on in circles It's a mental slow ride Many stop points I quietly hang out at I just have to deal, don't I? And I simply don't know what to do with my hands Maybe I should hold myself Stripped of lies I witness myself at my barest It's a lonely side Like the night When the light is gone Beauty and ugly become one
