Starlight

by @myxgreasyxflannel

A simple gleam in the sky Doesn’t seem to be enough light; Especially when the darkness overcomes This world of quickly fading love. Why is it that they provide hellfire Instead of holy water? Do you believe for a second That anything will quench the thirst Of Satan’s sons and daughters? A light in the blazing sky, But it seems that the still wind Never whispers goodbye. Rolling tide and a blood-soaked sea, We’re only left to reminisce Of what used to be.
