Night Crave

Night crave

In the middle of the night, under a cocoon of darkness

I stay wrapped up tight in my bed

Twisting and turning, suffering in my sleep

With a start I awaken, and I know exactly what woke me

The night crave were back

Stomach aching and growling

I can feel it eating me inside out

The night crave were back and it cannot be stopped

Twisting and turning, my senses on overload

In the very room next to me lay my sister

I can see the beating of the heart as if it was right next to me

I can taste the blood flowing through her veins

Flowing to the beat of her heart

All of this I hear as it slowly drives me crazy

My mom and dad only 2 doors down

Sleeping peacefully despite the danger

Their 2 hearts pumping as if it were one

I hold back my thirst, I reign in my hunger

As I feel the night go by

I can feel time flow on by

As minutes turned the hours

I can also feel their calm

As they dream their peaceful dreams

And so I vowed to keep the peace

And let them sleep in peaceful slumber

And protect them from all dangers, including me

The night crave they haunt me, but

The night crave shall never win
