The night falls
heavy in its hours
Afraid of the dark
corners
of your mind
fear what you may find
alone
in the space between you
and vast nothing
openly suffocating
a blanket of night
you fall asleep
fall in love
fell for it
when burglars creep
and crawl with malice
lovers steal
kisses and tears
that fall
like night
In hazy dark cities
lights blur through salty tears
busy streets
empty years
Safe and sound
of silence
is golden
memories
Behind you
lingering in the shadows
of loneliness
loudest
at nightfall
