One Long Night
Hushed whispered and crackling flames
Marshmellows sweetening the air
One long night, out in who knows where
Tucked in bright tents
Dappling the field
The fire is out, not a sound is near
Strange creatures howl
And birds fly in pairs
One long night, out in who knows where
You hear snuffling outside the tents walls
Unable to breath, you make yourself small
There you sit the rest of the night, your body frozen but your soul alive
Heart racing depleats as the morning sun rises
It scares all away, no more suprises
You pack up your things, tossing them without care
Never again a long night, out in who knows where
