on a cold and cloudy night
staring to the heavens
darkness presses on my mind
my thoughts turn black
my soul grows heavy
why does nothing work out right?
all i want is happiness
all i need is love
seems everyone’s content
but me
must i try so hard
so long
deep purple pushes
back the cover
speckled light appears
the moon smiles
as if to say
be patient
i shut my eyes
and dream old dreams
forget old fears
a streak across
the forlorn sky
like a tear of hope
thru sad blue eyes
reaching
for a falling star
out of touch
she glides
so far
so fucking far
away
