Tonight is the Night
Tonight is the night
I tell myself
Tonight is the night
I will break free
Free from a life of sin
A life not worthy of your love
Tonight is the night
I tell myself
Tonight is the night
all will be made right
Right with myself
and right with you
Tonight is the night
I tell myself
Tonight is the night
I tell you I love you
I love you with all of my heart
all of my soul and all of my mind
Tonight is the night
I tell myself
Tonight is the night
When I must say Goodbye
Goodbye to a chance with you
A chance that I blew
Tonight is the night
I tell myself
Tonight is the night
I die

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou
This poem was very heart moving I'm completely speechless!
Tonight has no choice.
Just movements of the hart.
It happens before and after you knows.
With wet eyes and a sour hart.
Stings of hiding lust come out at night,
And in the day, with a clear brain, , , , , ,
Reason.
Will you look behind the closed blink, ?
'Tonight is the night I die' - shocking! ! ! So it's the second last poem, and I'm hooked! !
Very powerful poem!
'In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus'
Romans 6: 11 (one of my favorite verses)
This is a very interesting write on many levels of the conscience, well done..
