Night

I love when Night comes and drapes the earth in shadow,
And the sun disappears, leaving only the moon's glow.
As I stand and I watch the sky's beautiful hues,
I am enveloped in a world of blacks, purples, and blues.
I like to sit entranced and lost among the stars,
Only brought back (annoyed) by the sound of passing cars.
Trapped gazing off into the vastness of space,
I take deep breaths and I feel the cold embrace.
Invisible and hidden in my empty velvet veil,
I wish happy things, but my head is a jail.
So I lay in the dark and I think of my sorrows,
Hoping against hope and endless tomorrows,
For someone who cares, that I can hold tight,
But I am shadowed, concealed in my Night.
So I will lay by myself, staring at the abyss,
Wondering if, someday, my life will be bliss.
I seem so small against the infinite unknown,
Unseen, unfelt, but most of all, alone.
