[hometext] => This poem refers to ones lonliness, and how with time it comsumes you and controls your life.
[bodytext] => It comes in so quickly, night time is its domain.
So, with your head and heart it plays a lonesome game.
When no one is around, it'll take you by surprise;
It's everywhere you are, until the sun starts to rise.
Often it's very cold, sending chills across your skin;
Tighter you hug the blankets, this battle you can not win.
It's dampness consumes you, moist upon your face;
Closing your eyes doesn’t help, this memory you can’t erase.
You’ve felt this all before and dreaded the moments edge;
You’ve promised yourself no more, it was a personal pledge.
But, night after night all is still the same;
Your cold breath in the air, the darkness wins again.
