Quiet of the Night

This write based on celestial object that are diurnal in active, in this write the moon, stars etc. feel sad because the day light will soon chase away the night.

Eyes wink, tears flow
Our hearts crow because you will soon go
In your presence we glow
When you are gone we are less glow
You hold our life thereon
You are our companion

  My eyes are dark, I can't cry
  But the pains therein never die
  I know you breathe through me
  You are no more without me
  But my enemy is potent
  He will drive me out at all cost
  Quiet of the night is nought but sad
  A little more time I will fade

Eyes winkle, tears splash
We want an end to this
We want to own the day and night
We want to hold everything tight
Make us an incendiary
Bomb to retaliate against our enemy
Make us a lasting danger to overcome
The enemy that you alone can't overcome

  My eyes are dark, I can't cry
  But the pains therein never die
  I know you breathe through me
  You are no more without me
  But my enemy is potent
  He will drive me out at all cost
  Quiet of the night is nought but sad
  A little more time I will fade
  When light does appear
  Dark does disappear
  Enemy owns each tool
  Destinies turn us into a fool
  Sun does power over days we have no right
  You own me, I'm the night
