Tis this night?

Just a thought on what the night does to people, and what it means to different individuals. Give me some feed back. Hope you enjoy :)

What truly is the night?

Does it creep upon the day?

Looking to drain it of its light

Or does it wait till the day becomes a fray

 

Yes, the day is robbed of its life,

And as winter nears, the light grows fainter day by day

 

But what about us, the wanderers,

Our dark hallways it conjures,

The frightening affects it seeps upon us,

Keeping us tucked in, robbing us of our trust,

 

Though some feel this way,

There are some, who are kept up, waiting to decay,

Waiting for the silence of the night to come,

Hoping for its welcome stay,

 

They prepare their minds and their helpless thoughts,

And ask, why should we ever deny the night?

It brings upon such odd and saddening pleasure,

And much blinding treasure,

 

We only stay upon the welcoming but lonely night to be as it is,

To be as stained into the thought of contemplation,

To be so inclined on the thought of life’s desiccation,

Only to leaving your mind scattered in thought itself,

 

It is truly pleasing to be in a state such as this,

The memories of the future at times become so bliss,

But for people such as these,

The mind cannot be manipulated so easily,

 

They use the night as a way to drift away,

Not to slumber, but drift from into its silent breath,

Plotting in a hotel room, underneath a buzzing neon with delay,

Thinking, thinking, of to bring upon its inevitable untimely death,

Hoping to end the sadness with a swift last breath,

 

Night brings upon the truth of heart,

The thoughts that would not be thought in the light of day,

It makes you say things you may not say,

And as soon as the night fades,

Our truth fades along with it,

Then we go back to going about our day,

In humanities robotic way,
