Tyrant Nights

Nights are long, days are quiet
Another day, another night
Days are gone, nights are tyrant
You promise me, its all alright

Nights are long, days are quiet
You promise me, but I don’t buy it
I know of long nights, I know of quiet days
I know of silent fights, and I know of simple ways

Nights are long, days are quiet
Bitter love, and sweet violence
Night rules, it is tyrant
All sit together in its silence

Such a desperate poem, full of sadness and fear of the night, which I can relate to. Welcome to PoetrySoup
