you keep leaving me

in my cage  
in this false light  
i cling to tears  
dusk falling  
 
i remember you  
awkward visits  
sleep  
you know the way  
 
strike too short
be insolent, be mad
go away
without chance of fire
 
night is deserting  
the moon and stars  
precious possessions  
lost  
   
when i awoke  
dreams scatter  
pass cold window sills  
day is renewing

Author's Note
the night shows up, promising me peaceful dreams, only to leave me when morning comes.
