the thoughts that keep me up at night all engraved in the back of my mind --- consuming each crack and crevice, not even giving me the chance to breathe they ravaged the insides of my flesh, echoing their agony in my bloodstream like a distant note but i can hear the night. i can hear it calling me. i hear the silence. the  familiar hum of sleeping bodies the stillness of the wind the distinct flicker of lamp posts and empty streets the quiet of the stars and the gentleness of the moon the night. it comforts me. dark as it may be. and as i feel peace enveloping my every pore, i smile. i close my eyes. i let it consume me even more.
