Nightime sadness

In the darkness of the night,

I awake slowly to a presence

Although I have not seen anyone with my sight

With every fiber of my being, an intrusion is all sense.

Now I am wide awake

Still thinking about what woke me from my slumber

Wishing to wrap all my burdens in a corner and forsake

But then, the thoughts comes tumbling down in spirals of flames and ember.

Gradually, my  mind begins to wander,

To all the repressed memories and all the unexpressed sentiments,

one-by-one, they flash past and i ponder,

While eager to go back to my snoozing moments.

 

The clock continues ticking,

My memories now integrated with hum of melodies 

Yet, my eyes remains glued to the ceiling,

but now clouded with sadness and wiped tears.

Looking at the time now,

Time to get up and get over it,

The instance to let go of the questions  of why and how...

Simply stand up and start to forget  then the pain goes away bit by bit...
