full moon fever

she stands on the back steps, the paint peeling off from years of constant use, the smell of jasmine fills the air.
the light has blown and she cant be bothered to replace the bulb
the branches of the trees scrape against the gutter with the wind
tis not such a dark night. the full moon dances among the drifting clouds
and she thinks of him. she always does at this time of the month
the steps she takes day by day keep her upright but they lead her nowhere
everywhere is no place she wants to be and always will be whilst she remains alone
he is with her always despite her best intentions to rid herself of him and his demonstration of repeated absence
but she knows he is close by. she senses him. just as he senses her.
and she will never forget because she wont pretend and she cant deny what is inside her the way he does
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    she stands on the back steps, the paint peeling off from years of constant use, the smell of jasmine fills the air.
    the light has blown and she cant be bothered to replace the bulb
    the night wraps itself around her and she is grateful for its touch
    the branches of the trees scrape against the gutter with the wind
    tis not such a dark night. the full moon dances among the drifting clouds
    bats fly overhead and she thinks of him. she always does at this time of the month
    the steps she takes day by day keep her upright but they lead her nowhere
    everywhere is no place she wants to be and always will be whilst she remains alone
    he is with her always despite her best intentions to rid herself of him and his demonstration of repeated absence
    but she knows he is close by. she senses him. just as he senses her.
    and she will never forget because she wont pretend and she cant deny what is inside her the way he does
    but then she realises what a foolish act it is to keep hold of something so tight
    and when the clouds burst forth their bounty she releases everything she feels the only way she knows how
    and it appears very black against the autumn night
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    I like that part a lot, specially "very dark against the autumn night."
    A few words like that is what sometimes makes me start a daydream and come up with some writing, thankyou Cate,
