Crystal droplets cascading down a pair of cheeks
Each illuminated by the light of the moon
The sky seems to be empty of stars tonight
Letting darkness seep into her veins so soon

Isn’t it pitiful?

Her eyes became an overflowing river
With nothing else to blame but her own
The warmth of the sun had left
As the coldness of the night made itself known

“The universe is merciless,” she had thought.
