the stars decorated the sky as only stars can
the moon lit up the sky in the way that makes you wonder
she lay as she always does on nights like this
she had done just this a million times before
but tonight was completely different than the other nights
tonight she did not cry but she did the opposite
she smiled
she smiled not because she was happy
she smiled because she felt nothing
the pain was locked deep inside
no, tonight she did not cry but instead she died
not physically
she died on the inside
she was empty; she had cried herself away
she was completely broken and no one knew
no one except those gorgeous stars and that curious moon
