    At night I welcome the quiet
    it sinks into all the fibers
    of my being, I luxuriate
    in it, soak my soul in darkness.

    I polish my self-pity and
    it grows and glows like an idol
    I worship it as it becomes
    my perverse kind of destiny

    A nightmare marionette watches
    folding its arms in the corner
    mocking all my indecisions
    the weak compromises I make.

    Let me stay in this vacuum
    if only for tonight, let not
    a peek of sun enter my world
    indulge me, hold back the morning.

Kindred spirits. I'm also quite fond of puppet shows.

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Night, the great simplifier and releaser of thoughts, enjoyed teasing my way through this.
Thanks

Oh yes, the night can thoroughly usable as delving into deep thought, and then again it can bring dreaded, uncontrollable fear!

I let my thoughts torment me in broad daylight (all the better to see them with my dear) and sleep like the dead at night...except for those pesky nightmares...
