It is easy to love and laugh under the sun.
It is at night when the challenge will come.
The sun's rays keep the darkness at bay
But what's to protect you at the end of the day?
When the darkness consumes your world?
When your thoughts begin to spin and swirl?
The stars shine both cold and bright,
Bathing my moonburnt tears in earthereal light.
The moon turns my skin to marble and glass
And the ground I walk on turns to ash.
Such crule beauty that does reside
When the dark makes the light subside.

On moonburnt bays
He sat with his very shadow.
The illuminating light crept
And pierced him deep
And the shadow he was—
was a ghost within.
I was a moonburnt shadow
under stars
burning like a dying ember
in the darkest of the dark.
