Night

Night is a restless time

Out of place, empty

Everyone has left the world and only darkness remains

Yet at the same time their presence permeates

Pressing you down under their heavy breaths of sleep

Night is a time for the outcast

The Suicidal, the Drunkard and Depressed

It is a time for waiting in hospitals, airports and trains

It is time to slit wrist and eat chicken soup in hotels

It is a time of stress, a time of pleasure

It is a long day, an all-nighter, a death in the streets

Night is the cold stillness that creeps in your bones

Or the hot restlessness that tires your brain

Night is cheesy soap dramas and infomercials on the TV.

Night is the ticking of a clock till sunrise
For those who can’t sleep Night is all but a magical dream.
