aftermath

Let me leave
by break of day,
sneak away while
the moon is high.
I'll not leave you
with much hope,
nor give you time
to say goodbye.
For if I stay
till light does come,
to your sweet ways
I will succumb.
So I shall take
the star-lit path,
lest I face
love's aftermath.

(I'd welcome feedback on this, my first
 submission !)
