Nuit Blanche

It's two o'clock in the morning now.

Head's been in a pillow fight

And my body is rather tired

But I now turn on the light.



My mind aches and sure doesn't help things.

Why is there always pain?

If only someone were close to me

To obliterate this bane!



So I pick up my paper and pen

To wile away the hours,

Soon putting my thoughts into writing -

Which my hurt empowers.



Thus purged, will I be able to sleep,

To repose my weary head

Or will I then just resign myself

To the sleepless night I dread?
