Midnight and a Minute

Beautiful and terrifying night,
A monochromatic work of art.
The heavy sheets against my skin
Grow heavy with my heart

Long before the dawn,
With the sunset far behind,
The demons in the dark begin
To whisper in my mind

Minutes after midnight,
A bright soul sits and rots.
The darker the sky
The darker my thoughts.
