As Night Falls

A Poem

Photo by Vincent Chin on Unsplash

As night falls I am reminded that I have no one to fall with An empty bed A fluttering mind and a litany of excuses as to how it got like this

But excuses only get one so far Especially when the only person I am making excuses to is me And even I am rejecting the verbal nonsense predicated on facts that never existed in the real world

As night falls It’s a subtle reminder that it can all go dark Not just the sky but the inside of my heart When this delicate organ fails to get regular exercise it darkens and rots until it becomes only a remainder

I think about morning and wonder whether a new day will bring light Not just to the sky but to me Will it shine on me tomorrow and eclipse this melancholia? A sadness from within The feeling of darkness

As night falls Another day passes and with it, the light Descending into the horizon with my hope of ever finding love again
