When it’s dark,
the people of the night emerge.
But they do not thrive
when the sun goes down.
They fear the dark
which deepens their pain,
augments their solitude,
and highlights their tears in the moonlight.
They are held hostage by their fear
of the night.
They cannot scream in fear
of the night.
The night is desolate and so very cruel.
No one hears their sobs.
No one can save them from
the night.
