The candle's gone out
Emptiness, hello's
Quiet time, a bow
Off to lead me into the night

Dreamless
To venture into the shrouding dark
Where with eyes closed a body wakes
Soundless and shivering
To deep dark alleys

The walls of which
Rustle quietly like leaves

And lightless stars litter the sky
Pale specks against the darkness
Mirrors to the depths of time

Running ever forward in all directions
Desolation as it spreads
Until everything becomes
Detached
