Night Time

The sun sets casting a gloomy

shadow over the earth,

I watch the sun slowly

disappear behind the mountain,

The stars soft light starts to poke

through the dark canopy of sky,

A crystal clearness starts to

settle as the darkness rolls in,

Tonight was just like all those

other unsure nights I spend waiting

for the last rays of day to fade and be

swallowed up by the darkness of night,

Memories start to fill my heart

as I remember a time when the

night did not seem so ominous

and unwelcoming as it does now,

I become lost in my mind as my thoughts

turn to a time when happiness refused to

leave my side and become as much

a part of me as was my shadow,

Now I am alone every night

as I gaze up in to the night sky

and let the immensity of space wrap

itself around me and embrace me

I used to have someone by my side

each day but time denied me

my one true happiness

and decided to do as it pleased with me,

But each day a small light, a small ray of

hope continues to burn in me and helps

me make myself believe that I will have

happiness as my companion again someday,

Until time agrees to take a different course

and make my life joyful once again,

the stars will burn ever bright and the night

will continue to sing its lonesome lullaby.

Authors notes: Sorry if this was really depressing and everything but I just read a sad story and was feeling well sad. Don't worry, I'll write something happier next time. Hope you liked it anyway. Bye!
