Image for the poem Lightless

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
