from the yellow wash of sodium light,
a traitor awakes.
the darkness in his eyes
blotting out the stars.
lies rise up to walk
about the streets
with shadows clinging to their heels.
rain falls from the sky like a
suicide - grey thoughts on
the heads of the unloved
bring unwanted understanding
of memories lost in time.
the betrayer, unaware, in the alleyway
reaches out to touch the life
passing by.
feeling them slip through
his grasp, he retreats
and waits for the tomorrow
he knows will never come
in the city of the perpetual
witching hour-
a 4 a.m. wasteland
of discarded dreams.

The first two lines are my absolute favourites, Vanessa.
D< stop being so painfully talented.

That's sort of funny, because those two lines were the first thing I came up with. I wrote them on a page in my book and left them there until I sort of came up with something around them. XP
