The Girl Inside 2

Quietly into the night, she stalks unbidden
Searching for something that’s very well-hidden
Not treasure nor requited love
Guided only by the moon above
She hides from its shine but follows it around
Searching from the skies to below the ground
Finding her only ally in her shadow
She also finds in it a formidable foe
Standing firm and saying ‘nay’
Each time she seems to be finding her way
As if determined to keep her behind
And laugh heartily at her timely decline
She must fight it if she wants to succeed
If she really wants to find what she needs
Push past her shadow, well into the night
And finally find the girl inside
