~Cloak of Darkness~

Under cover of darkness
in the middle of the night
when some have to face themselves
and all truths come to light

For those who are in love
the night holds only romance
when the air is filled with magic
and lovers complete the dance

The lonely run to hide
their pain and fears in sleep
Knowing when morning comes
their illusions they will try to keep

For when love goes wrong
night only magnifies the loss
Long hours when sleep will not come
reliving the emotional cost

If death cuts short a loved ones life
the night allows an escape
we try to find them again in dreams
as night covers us like a cape

For some the night is soft and warm
for others it's lonely and long
As the night embraces each of us
we move to the rhythm of our own song
