When I look up to the sky,
In the middle of a darkened night,
Losing track of time in the depths of insomnia,
And nothing but worry\u2019s and demons cloud my sight,
I try to focus on nothing but nothing itself,
Usually, to no avail,
But sometimes I do manage,
And when I do, the never ending stress of life goes stale,
My mind then takes that forbidden journey,
Into the nights abyss that has forgotten all of time,
My soul now travelling up towards the heavens,
And peace in the night\u2019s sky I find,
I fly amongst the clouds,
A blanket of lost time now my home,
And a representation of true love shows it\u2019s face,
And a utopian mind set is shown,
My demons and worry\u2019s all forgotten,
And all the self-hatred coursing through my veins has vanished,
With all my deepest desires granted,
And the sweetest of angels, I kiss,
For once my night is not lonely,
And once again I find love in my heart,
I\u2019m at a climax of true happiness,
When before, I didn\u2019t even know where to start,
And there\u2019s only one thing that I now fear,
It is the inevitable doom of daybreak,
So I shall be free until the sun rises,
And with it, this euphoric bliss it will take,
So for now I beg and I pray,
And speak to stars of forgotten day,
Sweet stars hear the pleas of this once broken man,
And let the night\u2019s sky, forever take me away
