Moonlight

Moonlight 
has seen me cry alone
restless, 
held by the memory of days gone

touches and events
people come and gone in my life

triumph and despair
moonlight you have made me
relive them all.

Moonlight 
I am tired of your glow
making me see my past

each event played out
days that I cannot bear to 
see again

each memory so real
the smell, the taste and touch
and the pain so terribly real

Moonlight
please leave me alone.

Moonlight
piercing that fog of yesteryear
making me travel
back down that road
and live it again

each and every moment
is full of terrifying clarity

haunting me
with images
sounds
feelings

Moonlight
can’t you leave me alone?
