Mourning

Without a light
Voracious night
Consumes your every thought
You cannot sleep
As shadows creep
On frazzled nerves so taut

The moon is new
And stars are few
The darkness feels so cold
You curl up tight
But tell your fright
That you refuse to fold

You pass the time
Creating rhyme
That no one cares to read
Until at last
Morosely past
The curtains rays will bleed.
