night crawlers

Black out

Night shutter
They come
They always come
Shaking and rattling
The creatures 
Of your soul
Eating your mind
Growing 
On your thoughts
This darkness 
It's not spent
Yet
And those 
Who wait 
For the dawn
Shivering
In the shadows
Are the ghosts
Of the dusk
This life
Thrives 
On candles
Flickering 
Gently
Slowly
Eating up the light
Totally dependent
On the wax
And the wind
Waning
And wobbling
It's the small things
You hold
In your 
Hands
In your heart
And if you let
That tiny light
That fragile glimmer 
Of hope
Go out
Well
You're done
And it's done
And none
Are so foolish
As those
Who don't
Take care
of
The precious
