Companion to the Night

Awake,
Dreams reluctant, lose their hold.
Quietly, I slip my bed”

Stepping outside,
The Night, ink-streak'd black 'n bruised
I'm alone. So very alone,
In a sleeping world

Gentle breeze kisses my cheek
I look heavenward”Light,
The Innumerable pattern of stars
I wish I was a part of it all,
Beautiful and Unaffected

Embrace the Silence.
Do you hear it?
I'm Hollow.
Emptiness is great pain

Reaching,
my fingerprints stain lonely clouds.
Why so Silent? Why so Cold?

Once you spoke to me,
In the Forest. You loved me

I hate you.

I hate me

These tears? are for me,
Not you.

I am companion to the Night,
I could go away so easy
