The Night Steals me Away

By Colin Campbell, 11

As I speak each word,

I speak.

And as I hear each word,

You speak.

My eyes start to drift

And my body slowly

Falls in an endless sleep.

As the night steals me away.

I want to say

What I want to say

About my lovely person.

I love so dearly.

But I am stuck in this hole,

I see stars pop into my vision.

I see the large dark ocean sky

Swarm the entirety of my sight.

Then I close my eyes

And rest my head,

So weary…

As the night takes me away.
