Don’t Let the Night Take Me

Don’t let the night take me.

My gloomy thoughts stir,
Memories flicker to life.
The world grows quieter—
And lonelier.

It’s just me and my mind,
Replaying,
Pausing,
Rewinding every scene
That still hurts to watch.

I try to stay hopeful,
To stop the heartbreak
From driving me mad.

But the clock spins—
And I spin with it.
Tossing. Turning.
Trying to understand.

The knot in my chest tightens—
Then slowly fades—
Then tightens again.

Because night is when the past returns,
And the devil
Tries to break me.
