Night

 On nights like this,

I wish for an understanding heart,

A familiar soul—

Someone who makes me feel whole.

Sinking again,

And this time, fast.

Scared of how dark it gets,

Scared to be strong once more,

Scared to be vulnerable, to open up.

This pain will fade—

That, I know.

But until then,

I will bask in the reality of fate.
