The Night

The night is all that’s left to me
It’s cold empty darkness
Like the hands of death waiting to do me in

The night is all that wants me
It’s unforgiving darkness
Like the life I’m sick of living

The night is all that hears me
It’s silence worse then screams
Like all the tears it’s seen

The night lies in wait
It’s hope is gone
Like it’s hope I shall soon be
