The Night Will Continue

…it’s inevitable journey

Ever watchful
as the day is dying
I fear the shadows
but the night will continue
its inevitable journey

I ceaselessly bear the darkness
perhaps it shall never return
I accept my wounds
and conceal my scars

dark thoughts rise up within
I turn away from ancient regrets
with a trace of sadness
allowing myself that choice

finally walking in the light
I lose my place in time and space
no intention to ever catch up
enjoying the sun on my face

not wary of wanting
for I know I am someone’s eternity
and my despair shall never return
I am making my way in this world
ever hopeful of finding my place

one day I will let my heart
touch someone’s soul
but in the in between
the night and I will continue
our inevitable journey
