Night Still Holds Away,
as my eyes droop.
My ears seek to tune out
the noise
rattling inside my mind,
but the walls tremble
as vehicles blow by.
Sleep beckons singing
an enticing lamentation.
Her angel's voice seducing
under the guise of a siren.
Night holds no joy.
Joy flees when tears break free.
It leaves me questing
through
a landscape riddled
with desiccated
memories of peace.
When night comes live
and holds no terror.
Now, night brings truth to bear.
I can't hide from the past—
its presence clings forever.
