Night awaits.

i go about my day

dreading the smile i gave.

knowing all can see

but they all look away. 

i come on home

to a family that awaits.

to turn me inside out

 for the night that waits. 

i close my eyes with

red inside

 open my eyes

with red slits

on my side.

i go to my friends 

that holds the door.

the ones who waits 

for the night to come 

they take me in

we go all night

till the morning light.

they put me to rest

for the next day to come. 

i go about my day 

like the night hasn't come
