i believe,
even the stars
get tired.
when the night sky
had folded them away
back into the darkness
and the moon,
that lonesome thing,
has doused itself in shadows.
so will you too, my friend
shy away from the light
as if it would burn
if it reached you.
maybe you feel,
you just are not strong enough
to face the day.
that the midnight hour
is a broken thing
and oh, the silence
is deafening.
and you and i know, even the stars
are tired.
you mourn for them
as their light expires.
