A Long Night

Some night can seem unusually long,

Resembling a bottomless pit or a never-ending song.

Your whole life flashes in that one night,

It may even start off fine but end with a real fright.

You wish and plead for it to end,

But the harder you try the longer it extends.

All the creatures seem to have come out to play,

Rendering futile your efforts to salvage the impending day.

You complain and cringe at one and all,

Losing your senses to frustration and your logic gradually takes a fall.

You look back at those night that passed by peacefully,

And wince at those nights that were so heavenly.

In the morning you curse the night that was and the long day to follow.

You hope for the best all the while feeling a bit hollow.

By the evening you are tired and endured a lot of pain,

You try to look confident and hide your fear but all in vain,

By now all you ask god is not to let any nigh be the same.
