Night Falls

Night is the haven for life's escapees,
Those of us who flee the light of day.
We see too much as innocent bystanders,
We feel every pain and we taste every bitter pill.
I fall like the day glowing golden into the sea.
I know tragedy will not follow me in the dark;
The sunset is my lover revealing everything,
Asking nothing in return, promising nothing,
Only a kiss in the dark as night falls.
