NYCTOPHOBIA
n. fear of the dark or of night.

And someday there will come a point
where you turn off the lights at night
and discover that you cannot see your hands
or hear the beating of your heart

because you have disappeared,
all too suddenly.

Only your harsh reflection remains here now.

The silent shapes loom large and nameless in the dark;
before this you were never afraid that
no one would remember you when you were gone
or that no one would witness your slow fade away.
