Losing Light

She stands in the night
And lifts her arms
Tears streaking down her face
Leaving glistening trails
Upon her skin
While held in a dark embrace
The night is silent
Draped in a veil
That disguises all things known
In certain darkness
Except this girl
Where in the moonlight is shown
With gently closed eyes
And outstretched arms
As an offering to the dark
Willing the night's veil
To take its hold
As she cries her final spark
