Afraid of the Dark

Now The Night Comes

Now The Night Comes

Once the night came,

And I enjoyed the silence.

The peace.

The time with God.

Now the night comes,

And I admire the stars.

I find hope in the moon,

And it's quiet glow.

Because I don't like the silence,

Or the words that fill my head.

Anxiety comes,

I become trapped,

And the night wins again.

I wish I liked the night,

But now I'm unsure.

I can't like the night,

When the truth comes with it.
