Scared of the Dark

Night brings thoughts of darkness. Pain hurts in the cold loneliness of midnight. Stay awake with thought After thought Shadows dance With thought after thought And stir up the Demons I play dangerous games with ,Aww, my creatures of Night. Shiny tools and trinkets consume and coddle me. Just fall asleep and they will go away till tonight. Sunrise brings new hope, But then Sunset comes. I find I am still Afraid of the dark
