After Sunset

Why is that with the fall of the sun I lose my mind?

Or it goes on a night long journey to thoughts unkind

The sun's absence accounts for a lot sometimes

As soon as it sets, the mind of a loner chimes

For me, this is the time I start writing another piece

Of how lonely it is and how I try to reach a state of peace

But I never get the chance to complete them

I hope this doesn't turn out to be another unfinished gem

Because it's after sunset when you come to realize

How alone you really are or just a little joy in disguise

No matter how hard you try to prevent it

There's no holding on to your own spirit

As it gets lost within thoughts of a distant dimension

To the world around, you no longer pay attention

Because it's after sunset when you come to realize

That you're trapped in a state that you can't recognize

Thoughts centered on your own existence

The road to euphoria, can you go the distance

But not to fear, you've been gone for so long

That in a few moments you can open your eyes as the sun comes along.
