sorrow

why is midnight the loneliest hour?

i'm always rendered sorrowful by it's power

when then night is so dark and everything is unclear

and evilness arrives to create havoc and fear

all the world is scared and afraid

everything that was good seems to fade

you're left alone to fight without anyone there

you are abandonned, nobody cares

how hard you fight, it doesn't matter

because you'll be left alone broken and tattered

you're consumed by your pain

you're like the lamb that was slain

innocent of any crime

but yet, it's your turn to die

you're like a child afraid of the dark

afraid you'll never leave your mark

you'll die with the rest alone and forsaken

awaiting the day you'll be awakened.

Amazing. Y'know...I had never really stopped to think about it, but you are so right - midnight IS truly the lonliest hour. I'm sitting here at 10 til midnight, and this poem is very easy to relate to. I must admit, you are officially one of my favorite writers I have found on this site.

Awesome poem. Those last two lines are my favourite, great ending. One thing, I don't understand the one before them: 'or like an animal, that has left it's mark', Iā??m guessing you wanted to use the animal comparison but had to rhyme with the line before. Sorry nit picking here, nice work.
