SheWasTheSun

These Nights

And there are nights, oh there are nights

When the dawn seems so far

And the dark won’t lift

And it seems the weight of the world

Is resting on my chest

And though I try, oh how I try

I do not feel like Atlas

And my maps are all mixed up

And on these nights, these heavy nights

These twisted, gloomy nights

I spend moments longing

For the temporary relief

That would come with resting the weight

In your venomous hands

But I remind myself

Over and over and over and over

That your hands are made of stone

Just like your callous heart

And regardless of your pretty words

And your strong, confident arms

You are Hades

And that, my dear, will never change

But they keep coming, these nights

These heavy, heavy nights
