Dark Night

                          The night is dark, but the sky's so bright

                    Dark from my nightly thoughts, lit by the moon light 

                         Curled in one spot, because the bed is cold 

                 Awaiting the sun light for a new day, which is already old

                                Time ticks slow, almost not at all 

                       The second hand slides, but the hour hand stalls 

                              Mind draws blank, still pictures occupy 

                      Pictures of the things I block, when I open my eyes 

                             Wanting to sleep, but I must stay awake 

                        It always seems real, even when I know it's fake 

                         Feeling all is wrong, when I know that it's right 

                            For me the night is dark, but still so bright
