nightly loneliness

You are leaving

like the sun

setting

on the yonder horizon

I do not mind

the setting sun
i know

it shall rise again

tomorrow

ushering in another dawn

another day
but

I fear
the silence

of the strange night

the engulfing darkness

that is tearing me 

Can I survive the night

Can I make it 
through
the darkness

without you

all alone
