Ballad of the night

by @ridhima-dutta

Walking barefoot head swaying To the music that the moon plays only for me on nights like these My hair scraping the very shoulders That stand proudly arched back Under dark windy skies But otherwise stoop with the sun's weight I could say that I am tangled Or maybe I toy around with the idea of being a mess, One who's knots you'll lovingly detangle With your calloused inked fingers. I dream with open eyes And surround myself with longing sighs I'd rather experience you as a pain Than not remember you at all That's what these nights do to me They Take my movements and turn them into a ballad If only daytime was as light
