Gabriel

Stars lie broken on the lake
As does my soul
The darkness surrounds and carresses me
But he never leaves me
He always lingers in the shadows
Always waiting for an opportunity
To see where I don't want him to go.

The moonlight touches his face
Which softens his soul
His eyes are burned into me
His soul beacons me
I am afraid of needing him so
He reaches for me as the sun rises
But his touch never comes
For he is gone with the sunlight
Forever returning in the darkness.
