Alone until death decides to stay

Held close at night.
Deaths tight grip come to visit,
Until the pale light of dawn
Scares the visitor away.

Comes not, to take her back
Where she yearns to be;
Any place but where she is.
Just giving her a rest.

Sleep, nothingness, nonexistence,
A wonderfully vacuous time
No pain, suffering, misery, anguish
Eight hours of temporary death.

The cursed sun rises again.
Death must leave
It’s willing and wanting victim behind
And she is alive for another day.

Alone until death decides to stay.
