Streetlight

There's a light across the street 

What a story it will keep

Though it's silent in the day

I hope that it will stay


Glowing faces and icy breath

Put nightfall to the test

Illuminate what remains unseen

Despair to what remains unclean


All the stories it could tell

Of midnight choices so unwell

Eleven hours out of the clock

Until the sunlight makes it stop


I've watched the streetlight for entire nights

Indulge yourself free from fright

The incidents in the early hours of day

Makes me hope one streetlight will stay.
