the never ending night

the night is a void
there is no light 
peeking beneath her door

loss is gnawing at my heart
my dreams are rescinded
I stay awake to keep 
the nightmares away

 this longing 
is a an open wound
this darkness will 
​swallow me

the stars never did shine
 the sun is just a memory
an ache that has gone numb

the night is a long dark hallway

the lost souls have claimed me
