the sky was dressed
in black silk and
silver stars,
i'd never been graced
with such beauty before.

we used to play pretend,
         give each other different names,
   we would build a rocket ship
              and then we'd fly it far away.

I have seen you whistling past the grave yard
Nose up in the air
Your tears invisible
Others think you are invincible

I see you from the inside
Yours are tears of blood
You keep it all inside
You are the anchor of a hope
You may not even have

Never show your hurt
Is what your fathers taught
You have tried your best
Persevered without a sound
Kept calm in the storm

Drip drip drip let them flow
It is okay to exhale
Breath out the pain
let the hurt wash away

find a quiet corner
Embrace your pain
And let them trickle
The tears of blood

come on little moon
come down
don't let me sleep alone
rest your soul beside me
please be my one-night-remedy
fix my pain and sorrow
then just leave me tomorrow
