Lightless
light does not shine through her window
nor does it beat upon her skin
light runs from her kind of darkness
stars refuse to twinkle if she looks to them
never born, yet she lives
somehow
barely
shadows at night
her only friends
yet the light,
which runs from her threatens to remove them
crepuscular, active only in the twilight
daylight teases her from afar
she blinks
and its gone again
dragging herself through this nightmare
she is complete
completely
unilluminated
nor does it beat upon her skin
light runs from her kind of darkness
stars refuse to twinkle if she looks to them
never born, yet she lives
somehow
barely
shadows at night
her only friends
yet the light,
which runs from her threatens to remove them
crepuscular, active only in the twilight
daylight teases her from afar
she blinks
and its gone again
dragging herself through this nightmare
she is complete
completely
unilluminated

I love it. Read it twice, and it swill sent a shiver down my spine. Painted a sorrowful but lovely picture in my head. The only thing I would think of changing would be thru. To me, I just think it would look better at through.
Just something to think about. Well done!

The question which goes around in my head is are we looking at a preferred choice or just the only thing this person has ever known.
Two other things come to mind:
experiments done in which people are deprived of either light or constantly subjected to it
Gollum or Smeagol from Lord Of The Rings
The last stanza for me is the most powerful!
