Blank Skies


Do you ever sit up at night

Staring blankly into your room

which consists of no light,

because when you dream

you dream of the past

past memories

of fake love

and happiness you thought would last,

 

maybe then you’ll realize that up above

where the night sky shows stars

is a lie

because the night sky

only lights up on sad nights

because the stars in the night sky

are really the tears

that fall from my eye
