Resting still?

Oh night, are your tired eyes resting still?

Or are you leaning over the window sill?

Waiting for someone to nudge you deep

Wanting to fall over into an endless sleep

Dreading for comfort that left you again

Trying to escape past few centuries' pain

Oh night, are your tired eyes resting still?

Or do you remember all the ones you kill?

Blood on your body giving you weird calm

Deciding next target for the shivering palm

Robbing someone's dreams for the night

Running away carrying their flickering light

Oh night, are your tired eyes resting still?

Or they nominating and writing last will?

Hoping the final rest to engulf any time

Struggling to swing down very last dime

Walking the night to find the final "rest"

Perhaps for last time leaving your nest
