The night pulls me into its quiet hold A heavy blanket So dark So cold The stars don’t whisper They just stare A silent void No one’s there The clock ticks loud But I stay still A restless mind A stubborn will I close my eyes But dreams won’t play Just shadows chasing light away Sometimes I wish for endless night A fading spark No need for fight To drift away where echoes cease A world of calm A breath of peace The dawn feels heavy It cuts too deep I’d rather linger in endless sleep The sun can shine But it won’t see The weight that’s pressing down on me But in the dark A thought remains A thread of hope through all the pain Perhaps the night can heal Not take Perhaps I’ll rise when I awake Sometimes I wish for endless night A fading spark No need for fight To drift away where echoes cease A world of calm A breath of peace
