Sunset

Fiery Reds dimming to a glimmering glow in the sky

Clouds stifling their cries with a light rain only slightly quenching the agony the fire left in them

They burn in the moonlight

Jagged scars on the moon giving it a sinister smile,

Invisible to those who see with their eyes

Bright as day to those who know how to look

Causing the shiver down your spine when you're alone at night

The feeling of breath on your neck when nobody is apparently there

The unrelenting fear persisting through the most spectacular of times and the most devastating of events

The loneliness seeps through my eyes

My ears

My nose

My mouth

It's everywhere

Eating me inside and out, destroying all that's left

Where is the end?
