It seems like a different life to the one I've woken up to. There are things that I wouldn't say or do at any other time. Night seems to bring a different quality to life and your poem captures that perfectly.Madame DeFargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172239340844485940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397758960634925062.post-67697428418971049852009-12-12T21:12:53.469-06:002009-12-12T21:12:53.469-06:00There is a dark side that i am familiar with.
