The night is dark in my world.
I listen to its song.
The breeze sweeps through sweet melodies,
and cries for days long gone.

I’ve lost her somewhere tonight.
I cannot hear her now.
The skies, they cry, and time does fly,
though it seems so broken down.

The stars flicker above my world,
I watch them dance and shine.
The light they give is reason to live,
true beauty unconfined.

I wished upon a star tonight.
I long for her happiness so.
Time stands still, it’s so surreal,
Yet, I must let her go.

The moon casts a shadow on my world,
I feel it chill my skin.
The shade it casts is not unlike a mask,
veiling the truth within.

I dreamed of her again as I slept,
I search for her every night.
Though she is gone, my heart holds on,
and it won’t give in without a fight.
