Deeper Into the Night

I don’t want to spend these nights alone,

Wandering until I have lost my way.

I want you to guide me so I don’t get lost,

Brighten the streets so I don’t get scared.

I walk in hopes of passing you in the dark,

But with each step you become farther—

I become more distant from myself.

The hypertrophy of hope each morning,

Is destroyed with the rise of stars. 

I stand so far away from home,

But still walk deeper into the night—

Still hoping somewhere, somehow,

You manage to hear my thoughts.
