Don’t Stop People in the Night

Don’t stop people in the night.

-not because it’s seedy-

but because emotion tides are high.

Something about the darkness opens our mouths

to the things we keep away.

Don’t stop people in the night

-not because it’s pointless-

but because you may also let out the hidden.

The next sunrise only to regret having said anything.

trying to forget.

Don’t stop people in the night 

-not because you’re tired-

but because you’re lonely.

your sense is hiding just behind your pain

the longing longs still yet, into the morning.
