How Night Destroyed (the Vulnerable).

You'd said you'd give anything
for the day to last one minute longer....
for the moon to sink back and release
it's glow unto our needy, crisp love.

Together, we waited for yesterday
to remind us of the chance we had tomorrow,
another dream to build on stronger wings.

But we couldn't be cheated
from night time, and the nominations
I never knew were working
[to disease our reactive chemicals.]

How could I have let my heart
be put to sleep, when the shadows
still ravaged over my resources?

And you worked behind that crystal sky,
thinking that while I was kept tied in glory
I had no way to spin away from the dark
messages...
you were holding me up, knotting
the memories until I told myself,
you would be the savior to
stop the night from slaughtering.

My body decomposed,
under the chaos you rumbled down...
sliding me beneath
torturous rejection.
You used me
to convince my heart
it could survive solely
on your interaction.

Then, you dropped my lungs
into white mountain lies-
and my passage to life
broke,
for the first time I wished
I could be alone.

Alone to face night,
the one last stand before
it stole my shelter.
