I ran tonight; I ran to find
The life I had long-left behind

I fled tonight, and left my sanity,
Desperate to abandon the rest of humanity.

I left tonight, and reached for the stars,
Ignoring my aching, reopening scars

I flew tonight, I don't know how
Gave the stars a curtsy and the moon a bow

I danced tonight, I felt so free
How I found myself is a mystery

I smiled tonight, and wondered why
before I ran I couldn't fly

I wished tonight, for a dream come true
That dream of mine was just of you

I cried tonight, wept tears of joy,
For five minutes with my eternal koi*

I saw tonight, though blinded eyes
The second of three marygold moons rise

I prayed tonight, full on my knees,
And thanked God for escaped miseries.

I sailed tonight on a sea of glass,
The caverns of blackness, I soon will pass.

I breathed tonight, crisp, midnight air
As the frosty stars above me stare.

I ate tonight, from forbidden fruit,
blackening my face with forbidden soot.

I was cleansed tonight, and drank in the cold,
The moon casting the river gold.

I drank tonight, from that same stream.
Now eternally, finally, I shall be clean.

I loved tonight, and as I watch the sun rise,
I can only think of your starlight eyes.

I dreamt tonight, and with a sigh,
I dream some more as the sun paints the sky.

I lived last night, and was free at last;
I have been truly released from the past.
