Moonlight

I step out into the moonlight
Knowing it only makes me worse.
Inside me you’ll find just contrite;
I’m still nothing more than a curse.
Looking back, I can feel her fright
As in shadow, I am immersed.
Even as the light consumes me,
Seeping out from every pore.
Rage dissipates, to a degree;
Instincts reign more than e’er before.
She doesn’t hide, she does not flee
Fearless, as I expose my core.

So many things I wish to say,
But I can never find the words.
Drawn to her, I happened to stray,
Even though that’s what I preferred.
I wish that she passed on that day,
Forgetting I ever occurred...
