falling gently into startled noon
lastnight's mood shattered by the light
your kiss lingered in the air
like the perfume of your skin.
I felt you watch me as I pretended to sleep
the moon soaking up my goosebumps of a crushed spirit.
the haze of the nightmare
trapped between your words and my soul
a new day to shield me
to heal me
till stars appear and fall down around me
in a night lite prison of lonely ghost
walking from room to room
memory to memory
slipped quietly around me
to comfort my swollen eyes
caressing my tattoo of a darkness you held me in
pressed against your angry heart and cold stares
and now you are gone
freedom lingers for now.
