late

by Bedwyr Mclean - Leo

Late at night,
dreams, penetrate
expose the true self
inherited fears
locked away so deeply, they no longer frighten 
even children
in the street, another death
doesn't even make the local rag
who will care for you
when you're gone
will flowers
or thorns
mark your grave
death
is granted to all, yet
peace only comes
to those who lived
in pain
