Light that haunts the night By Lexi Harrell Lay there, lay there in shame. Wipe your cheek to rid the tear that haunts Your beauty. Like the light that haunts the night. Lie to yourself like you always do. Self pity, shame, hate, and guilt. When you see them think of me she says. When you feel their touch, remember mine. Why is it when she stands she has such thrilling power To move people. And when she lays it’s a fake cover, A mask, a lonely dream. A colorless dream, no purple hearts, no green tree to Keep a grow. No sight of power. Not a slight ounce of pride. Just a dark broken girl, so dark she seems white, Like that unforgiving light that haunts the night.
