Nothing But The Night



 Money in my purse
the curse of want
the reality of need
fades

The events of the day
turn into the memories
of recent past
disappearing

The beats of the heart
the throb of the loins
slip away

The sun takes it all down
burns it all
until only
all that you
are
aren't
fear
and love
leaving

You alone
surrounded
by everything
and nothing
but the night
