I have been careless
I used to move with wind beneath my feet
The eyes of no man could see
I was part of the night
Which no one had found
A shadow with no end
Looming across the skies
Gracefully perched in the black of night
No eyes had set
Upon my beauty
No hand had laid
Against my silk skin
Plush lips never brushed softly
Hair unbound only by myself
But the night with its star filled sky
And the moons luminous gaze
I was not alone
I was completed by myself
But the wrong move,
Was my own undoing
I could have quietly picked the shattered
Pieces and put them back in place
But I liked the freedom
Of the light
The heated gaze of the sun
I could see clearer
And the opaque window
I had been gazing through
Wiped clean
Revealed me to the world
But I was okay
