A Child In The Night

Thinking hard,breathing deep,
through the night you cannot sleep,
into the dark, mysterious night,
nothing but shadows haunt your sight,
the fear that you enclose,
sends shivers from your head to your toes,
scared and alone,
wishing you were home,
you think of the warm arms that could clutch you tight,
and carry you through the dark, gloomy night,
your mind is completely bare,
other than the thought that you wish you weren't there,
in that murky room lacking light,
which leaves you feeling as a child in the night.
