At the end of the night nIt can’t get any darker nI shrink from the shadows nCast in fragile moonlight nWith my back on the headboard nI sit on my mattress nClutching my pillow nScared to death of it all nnAt the birth of the stars nYou come to me at nightfall nLaughing at my terror nAs we struggle and spar nWhen it seems that you’ve won nThe clock is my savoir nThe promise of daylight nDenies all that you’ve done nnAnd I can sleep again nI can sleep again nAt the end of the night nMy world at peace nI can sleep again nI can sleep again nAt the end of the night nThe nightmares cease nnEchoes of mundane things nIn waking dreams repeating nTwo mirrors face inwards nAnd I’m caught in between nWhen it feels like forever nThe clock is my savoir nIt promises daylight nAt the end of the night nnAnd I can sleep again nI can sleep again nAt the end of the night nMy head is clear nI can sleep again nI can sleep again nIt’s the end of the night nAnd hope is here.
