It’s 3AM and I’m still awake

I walk to the window and pull back the drape

And stare at a moonless starlit sky

And wonder aloud, why is it I

Cannot find the sleep I so desperately crave

These thoughts overtake me, to a point where I cave

And slink back to my desk like a cat on the prowl

After all, it is why I am called the Night Owl

I’m afraid, to close my eyes
Though sleep takes over me
It’s when the dead awaken
And I’m no longer free to be

They’re coming at me, running
Demons find the easiest way
To be spiteful, in their glory
And these thoughts, I can’t allay

They beckon to my very soul
To follow where they roam
And I fall helpless to their plea
A ghastly place, this catacomb

Try though I might, to wrestle away
They keep me close, so I can’t breathe
Red eyes, thumping evil hearts
Shooting fire, as they seethe

Inescapable, in their clutches
I try my best, these thoughts, to quell
Yet I cannot overcome the darkness
I’ve lost the battle, in this living hell

The sun lights the sky, sets a radiant flame

Now falling to slumber, from whence she came

The night covers over, and all else is forsaken

As he nestles her sweetly, until she awakens

Too easily, it slips on by
Just like that, it’s gone

Thinking I could get some sleep
Then suddenly, it’s dawn

It seems I’ve lost an hour
Just like that, it disappeared

One minute is was two AM
The next, it felt so weird

Sixty minutes passed me by
And all I did was blink

In my opinion, daylight savings
Does nothing more than stink!
