Thoughts filtering
stop them

not going away
   -  how  -

since midnight came to ravish me

I feel the cold wind blow
like the death knell would know

and so she laughs at me
  -  silly game I play  -

That's all

right?

I ruined everything
make the day smile again

- why doesn't she smile at me?

why does everything feel so empty?

who hurt me
hurt you too
I see it in your eyes
   -  can't hide  -

no forever is gone
you made forever die

how did you do that to me

midnight comes
see dark

see naught

I close my eyes again

I don't feel the pain

it's all okay now
   -  see  -
I can take care of myself

big girl

I knew I could do this
I knew you didn't

midnight comes

why can't it stay?
no more daylight
no more pain

no more waking up there

the world turns

come back midnight
oh how I miss

come back to me

let me close my eyes
let me push away the pain

and then we can pretend

       -  everything is okay agian  -

or something...

it's always night that gets me...
I'm fine when the dawn comes again

Yes...for many people that is so.  But night has the tendency to hide what's wrong in the world.  Of course, you have to look at yourself more indeptly at night because you can't look at the world around you because it is black.  Night forces you to deal with yourself.  But it can also lend to a world where you can hide yourself away from the realities that are harsh and stark by daylight.  In daylight you can't believe that you're in the rainforest when the desert stares back at you tauntingyly.  At night you can make your desert landscape into anything because you can't see anyhting to know whether it's real or not.  That's what's so lovely about night.

"In the book of life the answers aren't in the back." Charlie Brown
