at night

when we are all alone

the darkness wraps us in a dark blanket

where we can be

all the horrible things

in the cold.

at night

we melt away

into walls that shut us in

security

for all the visions

that keep us looking

in the same direction.

at night

what we love

is no longer the same

when we do it

without the ones we love.

at night

desperation sinks in

as we float above our mind

until we fall into the depths

of unconscious dreams.
