ALL THE NIGHTS
All the nights weren't starry skies,
with full Moons and shooting stars.
And oh, those shooting stars.
How I wished that they were.
I could wish myself away from here.
Here, here, here...
All the nights weren't romanced,
with gentle caress and trusting promises.
And oh, those trusting promises.
How I wished that they were.
I could promise myself away from here.
Here, here, here...
All the nights weren't magical,
with heavenly angels and dreaming stars.
And oh, those dreaming stars.
How I wished that they were.
I could dream myself away from here.
Here, here, here...
All the nights weren't peaceful,
with loving unity and singing songs.
And oh, those singing songs.
How I wished that they were.
I could sing myself away from here.
Here, here, here...

The poem is about abuse women. How the nights have its peace and beauty. And they feel that the nights are only good for wishful thinking and no escaping for a better life.
