Swimming In Moonlight

My head is howling, Hollowed feral eyes watching, The harp of the moon a thrum in my chest. Love run away, I can't bear for you to see. The tang of blood against my teeth, I swore that I'd never let you hurt me. But your plumb fingers strum a heavenly tune, And it's crimped my resistance into a jagged three. Sharp pearlescent nails scratching into my skin, You've already won, just let me in. My brain is trapped within the endless night, wishing for the eventide. 3/30/2021
