Nights Like These Nights like these, I’ve seen my share Mother, father, sisters all are there Poor ventilation keeps us hot And no one seems to smell the burning An array of sounds carries me through time Forward and backwards at the same time A thousand thoughts race through my head My door is closed, I pound my bed A door and a wall protect my kin From rage I never was protected from Two little girls and their big brother With a horrible bond understood by no other We escaped to our rooms, alone with our fears United only by flowing tears The tears of young children stain the walls The floor, the doors, the sheets, the halls The tears do not understand the fire They only seem to fuel the flame higher They quietly long to escape the heat To breathe the cool, icy chill of the world This escape for which we all yearn, Someday we each will have our turn Stepping out of the flame with third degree burns We must cover our scars forever We wrap them in whatever we find Whether it’s quiet, solitude, or lies For like the tears that scorch our cradles Frozen people do not understand the heat Our wounds which we must wrap alone They’re synonymous with the word ‘home’ Nights like these, in limbo we stay Torn in half, two opposing ways: Our box whose scorch will last forever And an outside, mysterious, frozen nether In bedrooms we hide in purgatory Nights like these will be our story Russell N.
