The Night

Shadow falls with not a soul in sight
The scene is laid for the saddest of nights
A crackiling howl fires in the distance
Natures anger frills in the wind
I cannot escape this feeling of lonliness
No one to hear, no one to care, but the rustling of the wind
Oh how miserable things have become
But that is the way of the world, you cannot escape what mustn’t be undone
A venomous chill crawls up my spine
Love is lost, only sadness is mine
For what to live for , what do I seek
All I receive is nothing to keep
Why go on in this lonely place
There is not one good emotion to steal, not even grace
It is this way for all past and to come
A warning be issued, take heavy to the rum
Life is empty and I wish to be dead
But I sit in the black, unable to cock the gun at my head
She is cruel and unforgiving to all
She gives you a fear so you cannot break the wall
An embedded sense, a want for something more
It keeps me alive, among the very poor
I live on in this darkest hour
With nothing to comfort me, not even the scent of a lost flower
