One Moonlit Night

By Forsaken Tenshi

Sitting on a swing,

Eyes closed,

Swaying ever so gently,

A girl rocks,

Back, forth, back, forth.

The night is calm,

A breeze would stir a little,

Plucking at auburn strands.

The night is aglow,

Be it stars or moon,

Lighting up the park

In its pale, cold luminescence.

A tired head leans

Mournfully on hands

Gently grasping cold, steel chains,

Tilted downwards.

Viridian eyes slowly open,

Rising up to the heavens,

Glittering with unshed tears.

They focus on the cold orb

Hanging effortlessly in the sky.

A sigh can be heard,

Carried along by the wind,

A sign of the deepest sorrow.

Reflection begets pain,

Pain that sears the heart.

Eyes close tightly,

Jerked away from the sight

Of untouchable beauty.

The tears slide down

The pale, fragile cheeks,

Staining the skin in their wake.

A cry is torn from

The young girl's lips,

A desperate, passionate plea,

For the one, that special one

She shelters in her heart

To whisk her away,

Away, from all the pain,

Pain, anguish, tears.

Shivers run rampant

In her frail, thin frame,

And muffled sobs can be heard.

The tears flow down

In small rivulets,

A sure, definite sign

Of a lost love,

Of a broken heart.

The tears drop less and less,

And the body shudders no more

With a final sniffle

And a small sigh,

The girl straightens up.

Moist, dewy eyes gaze heavenward,

At the cold unforgiving moon,

And a smile spreads across the quivering lips.
