Forever Rescued

A dim light shadows my mind’s ebon fears tonight.
     Ivory curtains attempt to shield my sorrow with ease-
        I am but a woman longing to be near night, once again.

               My mind wears a cloche encompassing me in the 
                   memories I always dreamed I’d one day forget.
                       Now I am a willow weeping with grief’s oil lamp. 
                           For I am stuck in pebbles from a mount that     
                               crave remorse…   behind a PANE of night’s PAIN.
