Night's Embrace

To thee I must confide a somber tale,  
That shadows deep and dark do hold my heart
In twilight's grasp, where light and dreams unveil,  
I dwell within the gloom, ne'er to depart

The night enfolds me in its velvet cloak,  
Where phantoms drift and whispered secrets stay
Within the dusk, where once bright hopes are broke,  
I find a refuge, far from light’s array

No sun’s embrace nor dawn’s inviting gleam,  
Shall coax me forth from shadow’s hidden lair
In darkness’ grasp, my soul doth weave its dream,  
And in the gloom, I find a solace rare

O, let me not in daylight’s blinding glare,  
For shadows are my home, and there I dwell
In dark’s embrace, I find a deep despair,  
Yet here, in twilight’s realm, my heart does swell
