The Preying Night

Remember when time was new? An early day, a long night too! Remember when you once knew a child who put up a fight with you? A child who saw the fading light in you. A star so bright you both once knew. Perhaps you live a lie deep in the mind of you? Perhaps you didn’t see it die in the soul of you? The child who’s mind was a sky of blue, who’s dreams were fields of pastures new. You saw him run away from you. He stayed in the light of day while the preying night found you. You scoffed at all the dreams he’d had. You drank away the steel his eyes once had. You let go of your dreams you fool and now look what’s become of you?
