Turn Off the Stars

Compose me a song I’ll never hear; And I’ll write you a letter You’ll never read, Words built up in me Before we met Legos now scattered In a sandbox Where no one plays; See the silence thick From the echoes Yet to be heard Lying under the shallow grains Waiting to be unearthed, You pull me From the shadows I hide behind, Glimmer in my eyes Catching your reflection, The only light I’ve ever known Halo on your head bright But turn the off the stars and find It’s only the moon’s light cast Making you appear angelic A savior to my soul lit By hopes and dreams I cannot reach without you, I retreat into the dark Seeking another light I’ll never find again…
