Fade away as the loniness of night descends
Upon the frightened boy.
He knows not where to turn,
He knows not how he was dumped and deserted so Quickly into the black of the night.
Nor does he know how he will survive
Until daylight glows on the horizon once again.
He wishes he could go back to the comfort of the day,
But it left him so suddenly,
And he had no control.
He knew it was coming, the signs were there.
He couldnt stop the night, or hold onto the light.
Now he sits, cold and alone,
And sobs into the gelid night.
