me and the night

Oh! Night
Oh! Dark night
you are so dark
but not darker than
the darkness of my life

Oh! Night
oh! Dark night
so deep is your darkness
but not deeper than
the pain in my heart

Oh! Night
oh! Dark night
countless are these twinkling pricks
but not more than thorns in my path

Oh! Night
oh! Dark night
so vast is your span
but not more than my sorrow

Oh! Night
oh! Dark night
so pale looks moon
but not paler than my dying face

Oh! Night
oh! Dark night
you look so alone
but I am more alone

Oh! Night
oh! Dark night
you creep in
with the horror of seclusion
but my fears are horrible than yours

Oh! Night
oh! Dark night
you die every dawn
and rise at every dusk
but I die every moment
and there doesn’t seem to be no sunrise
