Nocturnal Interlude
by Solanum Dulcamara

The night is my lover
Caressing me with lies and falsehoods
Whispering only loneliness
Kissing away the caution
in the glow of neon
and flickering street lamps
My every heartbeat
a cry for escape
from the dark embrace

My chest heaves in an open alleyway
Familiar tendrils of twilight
rake across my skin

I'm the night's whore
Basking in the camera flash of moonlight
Strung up in the bondage of the stars
My tears float on the gentle breezes
of night's sweet nothings

I lie spent every dawn
detesting the light
fearing the dark
clinging to the retreating form of night
as it climbs out of my window
promise lingering in the dewy air
