I Am All Night

The guns

that keep you

awake

and shivering.

The stars that shine

cold

down

upon you.

The darkness embracing

squeezing

cloudlessly tight

like a lover you hate.

I am empty night.

Your last

cup of coffee

before the sun rises

like shotgun breath.

An empty room

heartache floors

broken window

demolished veins

like bent

nails.

I am awake…

and so is the night.
