She Was

She was;

               enchanted by midnight, elated by one.

She was;

               elevated near two, cursing the Sun.

She was;

              bewitched by three, dreaming 'til five.

She was;

             disillusioned at Sunrise, that she was alive.

She was;

              tattered by morning, no place near the light.

She was;

              never herself, except in the night.
