Unforgiving darkness seeps in

Envelopes my room in one

Crawling over my possessions

Stalking up my bed

Paintings lay half finished

Dresses with no hems

Earrings lay with no gems

And the dark mass swallows it

The night-light is off

The blinds firmly closed

And the covers pulled close

The clock ticks continually

The books stand stationary

The plants continue to respire

But laying there, covers upto eyes

It would seem like another night

Right?

Except the night is when

The mind runs unchecked.
