At nigh the midnight hour
I thought high upon my life,
'twas there that I found
the reason for my strife.
I tried to explain it
yet not a word came close
to the sweet surrender of the sin-
what held my heart morose.
Lest it be pulled from me
I locked my lips in chain-
hoping I might lose the key
and pray chance, never speak again.
But not another night has passed
I have spent relinquished of the power
that dwells with me-from that night-
nigh upon the midnight hour.

OHMYGODAPOEMTHATRHYMESWELLASFGERERRRR-
Well bloody done. I have read SO much bad rhyming poetry on here recently, I felt like there was no-one left to carry the torch. This works, has a Shakespearean ring to it, and it kind of feels a little like a sestina, even though it isn't one.
<3 so much love for this!!!!!
(one thing- nigh, not neigh. Neigh is for horses XD )
Going to go fave this now.
