Night Time

[Aengus Og]

The house is quiet,

yet the silence is deafening.

It is becomming late,

yet sleep eludes me.



My heart yearns,

but it seems in vain.

I find only unrest,

I feel only pain.



I go to bed,

but the covers smother me.

I kick them off,

and the night breeze chills me.



I used to prowl,

like a wolf in the night.

It was my time to think,

and search for insight.



The night was my friend,

it took away my fears.

Now it brings only torment,

It brings only tears.
