In the Silence of the Night

I love the darkness, the silence of the night,
the glittering stars and the bright moonlight,
the silver sheen it imparts on the world
hiding the blemish, the cracked, broken girl,
who sits every night, in a daze with her dreams,
with her heart that is bleeding and the voices that scream,
that torture her soul with cold memories repressed,
reviving the past that the future infests.
And her tears freely fall under eyes that don’t see,
who don’t know of the grief in her soul as it weeps,
‘til the starlight envelops her psyche with light,
giving strength to her dreams and restoring her sight.

  3. Yes, but does she not leave her chrysalis far behind with the coming of the morning light?

  5. When a heart is engulfed in sorrow, darkness seems the best friend that offers a solace.
