During the Day the sun shines down
People go about their day
with chores all around
when the day is through
it will come to you
what thoughts you knew
but could hide
for an hour or two

The night is falling
this is true,
she tenses up and fears
what the night will bring
this particular night.
For it is when it is night
that she is most full of
fright,
The fright of the memories
she tries to forget.
When things settle down
is when she feels and she mourns,
the losses she's felt
the humiliations, the scorns.
There's no one left to talk to,
no one left that's here.
For all who've said they'd be there,
are no longer here.

I can take a hint. I am still here. Will always be your friend if you want me.

It is a frightful thing to bare when the nightmares take over.

Myself I have never had nightmares but have heard of so many that do. One at times must deal with reality within the day to chase away the demons at night.

Whoooa, that's deep

So heartfelt and so felt,,

Holding you

Ummmmm Robert - never mentioned WHO or WHAT I was talkin' about....

Very nice i can feel the soul you put into your write!!! the night is really beautiful if you look at the moon and stars maybe it will clear your mind as it did with me now i dred the day ( darn work )

Thanks - the "demons" are the actual "realities" of life that can't be "Put away into the deep recesses of the mind" that come out into the foreground at night..........I dread that time, and I also dread going to sleep because those invade my dreams.........

But in time, all things change..........
