the night we sat on my roof

i've always been attracted to darkness

nighttime had been my favorite hours

i would long for the sun to set

as the moon kept me young

he dunked me in his light

but the darkness that had settled over me

is not the midnight i loved for so long

and each day i ache to touch him

to feel the soil that has planted

such an extraordinary flower

he is the first spring morning to cross my mind

a breeze in the flames of hell

he is the light of the moon

that i had lost for so many months

i turned to bones for him

shed the layers of myself

so he could grant me with his approval

he never even knew
