My Late-Night Moon
Late at night
 Full moon
 The light fills my
 Room 
 I look up
 The window opened
 Letting free my
 Cooped up thoughts
 Letting in
 Fresh new air.
 I watch as the late-
 Night storm clouds surround
 And slowly begin
 To cover -to dim- the
 Moon. Slowly my room
 Darkens, pitch black.
 The kind where you can't see your
 Own hand three inches from your
 Face. The rain
 Begins, pelting down,
 Drenching everything
 in sight. Nothing escapes this
 Onslaught. Even  I, safely 
 Inside, in my bed, feel
 Drops slide through my screen
 And trickle onto my expose 
 Skin. I close my eyes and
 Try not to feel the
 Sadness. The
 Pain.
 
 I know you saw me
 Me, your
 Personal, late-night
 Light. But I was 
 Shoved, pushed, covered
 By the small water
 Droplets. By the clouds.
 And now, your pelted
 And I watch
 As I turn my head and Close
 My eyes and
 Fall asleep. 
 I watch, just
 Like you
 As I broke, As
 I FELL.
 
 I see as you
 saw and I still
 don't see why you sat
 by and watched.
