A mind wanders in the dead of night With only its thoughts for company in the dark of night A girl wears her heart on her sleeve She is lonely, drinking away the memories of that night A toddler screams until there is no longer any air left in his tiny lungs, He had been smothered to the bots from that night A boy injects love into his bloodstream Crying out oceans to the silence of the night An arrow stays stuck in a man's battered and bruised chest Only because his life didn't matter that night The bow is placed in the hands of a tattered and tainted woman Because a man wouldn't give his soul away to the night And Kathryn sits and smirks at how no one seems to know That life is coming to and end, after tonight © ~amanda

Secrets of Those Nights (ghazal)
A mind wanders in the dead of night With only its thoughts for company in the dark of night A girl wears her heart on her sleeve She is lonely, drinking away the memories of that night A toddler screams until there is no longer any air left in his tiny lungs, He had been smothered to the bots from that night A boy injects love into his bloodstream Crying out oceans to the silence of the night An arrow stays stuck in a man's battered and bruised chest Only because his life didn't matter that night The bow is placed in the hands of a tattered and tainted woman Because a man wouldn't give his soul away to the night And Kathryn sits and smirks at how no one seems to know That life is coming to and end, after tonight © ~amanda
