Late at night

Late at night you lay

Face in pillow pointed away

Tears gleam and in the reflection they glare so unyeilding

It's so late so late at night

Is it almost day

The clock ticks and tocks but doesn't move

The hours tick by endless 

It is late at night and all thoughts are awake

Laying in bed wondering what happened with fate

Remember the promises you made the promises layed to waste

Don't remember the hate it is too late to go back

Late at night in the dark of shadowed hives

Nests of softness feel so hard

It is late and you lay waiting for sleep or morning to break

But it is late at night and you seem to always be awake

night   awake   Remember   waiting
