Dear, when the night settles,

who is left by your side?

When the world is asleep

who remains awake for you?

Who is really your friend

when the night settles?


Dear, it's the darkness.

The absence of light

is your only friend.

Everyone else has gone.

Take a look around you,

what human companion remains?

When the night settles,

your only friend is darkness.


Dear, they've all left you,

abandoned, broken, scarred, hurt.

They've all trickled away

one by one, to their new friends.

When the night settles,

do you not feel the empty void?

Can you not feel it?

The hollowness of having nobody?

When the night settles, dear,

the only soul here,

is yours.


Dear, when the night settles,

is it clear whom is there for you?

On the floor, crumpled in a ball,

who surrounds you

when you're pathetic

and utterly vulnerable?

When night settles,

and your eyes become raw

from the tears that pool out,

what are your friends doing?

Do they come to your aid,

or do they slip away

into a world of laughter?


Dear, look around you,

darkness is the only remainder.

When the night settles,

and betrayal sets into your heart

because you see

your so called friends

have abandoned you.

When the night settles,

and your broken self is left alone

to pick up your own smashed pieces

of the heart they took for granted,

for the heart they promised to love,

and dropped it,

never to even glance back.


Dear, when the night settles,

and your fingers ooze blood

from the cuts you've gained

from the broken pieces of your heart,

you are alone here.

Used and abandoned,

they all left you.

One

by

one,

they left.

The only thing that remained

was the darkness that came

when the night settled.

So, dear, remember,

when that night settles,

and they come back to you,

remember whom they left you with,

the enemy,

your friend,

the darkness.


Dear, when day comes,

don't be fooled by the human's tricks.

When the night settles,

they'll all be well gone.

You'll only be forgotten

and left to put your broken,

beaten,

shattered,

crushed,

pathetic heart back together

because when the night settles,

the darkness is your only friend.
