Night Turns My Head

Oh, the dark night is here,
I shall rant and rave,
Till heavens fall,
And the loved ones run,
When there is no one left,
Laugh and cry I will,
What else can one do in lonely places,
Where no one comes…
Laying down,
The tears gather,
In the crater around the eye,
Like rain water in a hollow tree trunk,
Soothing to the skin,
The salt stings but just about,
Many nights have been spent sobbing,
In the cocoon of your arms,
Unaware you sleep,
Well, at least one of us can claim to be sane,
For the night turns my head, yet again.
