Night

Is the time when ideas and dreams spin
revealing thoughts and desires from within

Is the time when loved ones and friends lay 
dreaming of the time during day

Is the time when I awake
Sweating and screaming from a dream I can't shake

Is when my thoughts turn dark and cause me such strife
Calling me to an action that will end my life

My dearest ones I think of the pain I cause
To be hurting them is my flaw amongst flaws
I think of how better it wuld be
To remove myself so they could be free
Finally a voice shouts, like I have be caught in class
It tells me to stop being such an arse,
Tells me the pain I would cause not save
That guilt washes over me like a wave,
So back to bed I go, seeking a way to forget my woes
I see my love lying asleep, a smile on her face and a snore in her nose

I stand think of that has past and all that will come 
A new hope beats within me like a drum,
Leave her I won't, stay here I will,
For there is much good to come still
Lay down I do and hold my future wife
For her will I continue to live my life
Dream I may of bad and dire straits
Better to live and see what waits 
For hard it may be, difficult and uneasy
But now I say, face it I will for she is with me
