tonight, i looked at the stars until i cried.
except there was only one bright star in the sky,
maybe to resemble loneliness in the night.
it was me and the star and the world just breathing,
or perhaps it was a planet, venus, sometimes visible.
as i cried my worries and thoughts away,
the sky remained the same, calm and astonishing,
telling me its okay to stay.
the problem is i didn’t really cry
because my body doesn’t allow me to,
even tho the “sadness” i feel is enough to make me do so.
i imagined myself crying to the skies,
when in reality i was just sat alone on my poor terrace
with tears in my eyes.
if i keep trying, will the stars continue to shine?
or are they already dead but the speed of light can’t tell us yet?
do the stars gaze back at us?
