For Nights Like These

It's for nights like these.

It's for nights like these--

Soaring high above the trees

Crashing my way down

Hurled to the ground

Closing my eyes

Allowing myself to die--

It's for nights like these

When there's a chill in the breeze

Foretelling my fate

At an hour too late

To save my soul

Or make me whole--

It's for nights like these

Where I dream with ease

Of the feel of the blade

The sound of the spade

Shoveling on dirt

To worsen my hurt--

It's for nights like these.

Author's Note

On mood swings and coping mechanisms. Kinda shabby.

i like the format of rhymed couplets herein and it definitely keeps a nice meter, well done.

I really appreciate your words on the structure, as I feel that most of my poems have a basic if not simple rhyme scheme that lacks creativity. Thank you!
