come to me

on nights when
the glass yawns empty-mouthed
and life batters you with weary fists

on nights when
you feel trapped
without purpose, without meaning,
an insignificant twinkle

before the streets rush up at you
come to me at once
let me share your silence

on nights when
none of this happens
curled up between a book and a drink

before the rooster shrieks
come to me again
let me share your pleasure

Pulls me in, somehow.

Interesting metaphors... Could you elaborate why you chose them?

and life batters you with 'weary fists'

an 'insignificant twinkle'

This part was brilliant!

'before the streets rush up at you
come to me at once
let me share your silence'
