She slipped quietly away in the night
out the door
Not to flee
Although she wanted to.
But simply to look at the sky.
To find the moon
that she knew lied above
her over crowded and young head
She smiled up
at the blackened sky.
Then she found the object of her affection.
Brightly shinning on her nearly carmel skin.
She spoke sweet words
to the light that was in the darkness.
She made it brief but she longed
to be embraced.
She smiled and she breathed deeply.
She felt her insides grow with warmth.
She wished for more..
but for now the light of the moon would have to do.
“I love you,” she whispered
then she again hid away in the house once more
with hope for a better tomorrow.
