NOCTURNAL

isolated/it's complicated
hard to explain
the moonlight's dares
another night's ghost/two hours sleep at most
i can't explain
my midnight prayers

i can't deny
that i stay up all night asking
if i could fly
would i fly away

it's hard to say
that i'm all right
i'm far from fine
no sleep at night
wondering
i played it wrong
i live my life
before the dawn

the clock in rewind/gone a bit blind
don't take away
the last life living
my step is heavy/feet unsteady
don't get the way
i can't stop giving (my soul)

i can't deny
that i say up all night asking
if i could fly
would i fly away

it's hard to stay
that i'm all right
i'm far from fine
no sleep at night
wondering
what's real is gone
living my life
before the dawn

i must stay strong now
won't be long now
this is my vow
make it through tomorrow

(Note: This was created with the intent to become lyrics to a song. As no melody was ever created, I left it as poetry)

It is beautiful And i'd love to hear it if you ever do make it a song. Nice write.

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
