keep me in sight

Let me feel like your shadow –

Even lighter than light.

Sentinels of the night

Fight me as their even.

Reckless, insomnia-driven,

Trapped in the pain of your lies

So lightly forgiven,

I still see in your eyes

Starving stars of desire.

Sentinels of the night

Watchfully guard this fire,

Hold me in bay outside.  

But I never obey

Their yells of frustration.

Treating my pain with patience

I shall enjoy my stay.
