Lady of the Night (Furious Dancer)

She is the daughter of the night
Finding solidarity in the shadows
Tracing constellations with her eyes
In the hope they will guide her
To the lost girl inside
She dances in the pale spotlight of the moon
Like a black light
It illuminates her scars
Until she is aglow from head to toe
All her pain etched into her skin
A beautiful testament to an ugly life
She finds freedom in the night
Away from judging eyes
She makes her way to the water
Pirouettes in the glistening reflection of the moon
Arches her back until her hair is drenched
Lets the water wash away all the shame that’s left
For when the sun rises
She will go and hide
Each dawn of a new day is her death
And every ray of the sun
A stolen breath
She is a daughter of the night
And by morning
She will be out of sight
