The Queen Of The Night



Walking with her head held high,
 grazing in the moonlit sky.
She appears only at night but Why?

There's so much sadness in her face,
 I wonder what brings her to this place?
Is there some memory she wants to erase?

I watch her on the low key,
For she would never notice me,
or how good together we would be.

So much about her I wish to know,
Like what makes her smlie,
 what will make her glow?

I guess I'll settle for being her shadow,
The queen and I, in the night alone.
