Dark
The light
Gone
The sun
Set
All you have
Is the shadow
Of the night
The harsh glow
Of the pale moon
Your half
Of the world
Showered
In eternal darkness
For hours to come
Animals
With bright eyes
And dark coats
Always awake
Overseeing
The unknown
Nature of the night
As
The darkness
Reigns
From Dusk till Dawn
We see nothing
Nocturnal
Awake
As darkness
Covers the land
And People sleep
A small sound
A knock
Things that go
Bump in the night
Constantly
Waiting
Watching
The bogeyman
The Shadow
The monster
All under you
And walking about
Fearing
The monster of the sun
Because it means
Their crimes are noticed
Their nature is seen
The bright landscape
Violent
Evil
But the dark
Cool
Calm
Collected
You curse the shadows
That remove your chances
Of sleep
As you sit awake
Fearing
The other things
The other things
The other things
That are awake
You are not
Asleep
Are you one of them?
Or are you innocent?
Is the moon
Bright?
Or is it only
The judgement
Of the wicked
Those who stay awake
Are not meant
To be
Nocturnal
Nocturnal
Against the night
Awake
You are
You are
Not asleep
Because
As you realize
You are one of them
A shadow
A monster
Unnoticed
Because
Of course
All there is
Is the darkness
The harsh glow
Of the judging moon
And you
And you
Are awake
Nocturnal
Against
The
Night
