all my nightmares left their playgrounds in the dark to shadow dance in the light
and I was left silver lining fishing for you in the sea of uncertainty in spite
of the fact that I knew that the You I fell in love with didn't exist and sue
me for repeatedly leaving but in the end I always couldn't resist returning to you,
faithful, forgiving tide to the moon who showed a different face every night

You sure know how to make limericks a serious thing. This was another gut puncher. Beautifully written, RC!
Beautiful piece.
