Night is short for me

Night is short for me, and day lasts too long,

I flee from love, and follow in its tracks,

I am cruel to myself, and demand your grace,

I take pleasure in the torment I endure.

I see my good, and obtain my evil,

Desire enflames me, and fear turns me to ice.

I want to run, and never move,

Darkness is light to me, and light is dark.

I am yours, and cannot be mine,

My body is free, and by a tight bond

I feel my heart held in prison.

I want to obtain, and cannot request.

Thus that old child, that naked blind archer

Wounds me, and doesn't want to cure me.
