the sorrows and sadness
the secrets and dreams
wrapped in the night dark embrace
the moon once a silent witness
now steps back unable to bear the weight of the word
the depths of the pain shared
even the stars those distant keepers of light
dims their glow as if the truth revealed is too much
for the heaven to hold
in the stillness only shadows
remain carrying the burden of what's been shared as
the night deepens and the world turns away
she stayed still with the blank sky

she wasn't a pacific ocean to tackle
she was just a serene river
flowing gently through the valleys
with grace that whispered peace

Everything is grey again,  
Familiar as an old wound.  
Just a new shade of grey  
But what if this hue nears pitch-black,  
Threatening to drown me in eternal night?  
Will I ever see the sun again,  
Or is it fading,  
A distant echo in the dark?
