in your shadow
the magic of the evening
created by stars and moonlight
was destroyed when you didn’t understand.
the magic that should have been there
purely from your presence
was absent,
was replaced by stars and moonlight once again.
i must rely on nature
i must rely on myself
when you fail me
when you don’t understand.
i cannot allow you to ruin me
allow you to ruin my insight
with your logic
with your facts
with your coldness.
you will not destroy my magic
cannot make dull my moonlight
will not make pale the sparkling of
my stars.
