One of those nights
© Arzanianjoy

It's one of those nights
Where I'm buried deep under the covers
With all the lights turned on bright
And all the doors opened wide
So I can see outside

The heat's down low
And the moon's shining in through my window
Still, I can't feel my nose or even my toes
'cause I've gone numb
And the cold's seepin' in through all my bones

The nightmares feel so real
And dawn seems so surreal
Shadows veil every color in my vision
And the echoes of all my hollow screams are all I can hear

It's one of those nights
(those nights)
One of those nights...

Tonight's one of those nights
I'd rather be awake
And feeling not quite so bared and scared
With the day outside
And all this dark tucked away

But it's one of those nights
And I'm all alone (all alone)
The sky's as dark as the memories I carry around ('round)
And all the black thoughts that keep me bound (bound)

Oooh, it's one of those nights alright

Even when sleep's been long forgotten
And the nigh'mares have faded away
The tears still linger on my tongue
Filling my mouth with their vile contingency
And, oooh, the fear's still lurkin' around ('round)

It's one of those nights
Where the slightest sound drives me crazy
And the door to imagination closes on paranoia
Every tear shines like a super nova
And every light flickers like a flame

Ooooooh, it's one of those nights
(one of those nights)
It's one of those nights alright
This is a new poem I wrote a few days ago, and after a few revisions, I believe it is almost perfect for being the first poem to mark my return.

Do enjoy,
~ Joy
