Another night unsuccessfully trying to crumple my Thoughts Feelings SADNESS And shove them as far down into the Abyss - the deep, dark recesses of my heart that is so beautifully Broken. It gets cold at night. The Darkness outside creeps in under the doors through the cracked blinds and eavesdrops. Listening for the Grief to catch in my throat, for the hushed sob. That no one else detects. But Darkness seizes its PREY. Patiently waiting for the Hour of Exhaustion. Of Defeat. Then silently and skillfully slides up next to me. Envelopes me. Holding me close. An unwanted yet constant companion. Darkness invites Loneliness. It appears as a vapor. Inhaling deep into my lungs, it becomes me. Infiltrates my bloodstream taking over my body. My heart aches, my bones cry out. Tears come, but for just a moment. They are running out and Frustrated. Sinking into the arms of the Unwanted Nightly Guest, drawing in the heaviness of Sheer Solitude. Perhaps Rest will arrive tomorrow. (05/16/2019)
