145. Facade of Life

Darkness fell harder than normal
The collision heralding abandonment
Lost souls free to escape the shadows
Individuals of failed accomplishments
Lack luster testimony to life
Consolation received and returned
Troubled souls united as one
The heat of the evening
Serving to simmer sweltering passions
Yet to be discovered
But unleashed by the flicker of hope
Morning comes sooner than expected
Human cockroaches melt away
The facade of life returns
