Oh, I cannot help that night has loved me
More so than any reality day brought;
For night has soothed my dreams and set me free
Of the insanity that life has sought.
The loneliness people gave is day born;
None of the hours of night has whipped my soul;
While day has taught me anguish and scorn,
Night vents sorrow and resurrects me whole.
Sunlight reflects all the wrong in this life,
I doubt not it has taught me well to learn;
But starlight held my futile dreams through strife,
And it taught me to soothe: I do not burn.
I give my love through night, to night I turn;
Through day I may pass, for night I yet yearn.
Hearts Still Care
