City Living

I look into the night sky
As the darkness surrounds my every thought
For I cannot help but sigh
I could not find the star I had sought

The heavens so dark and dull
Nothing for the eye to see
It used to be so shiny and full
Of stars that seemed to flea

This bleakness the night has become
Has taken away the true beauty of the night
It has left my emotions numb
There is not one star in sight

Sometimes I can see the moon
Shine brightly over the city 
As if it's singing a sad tune
Stemmed from sympathy and pity

The emptiness inside this place I call home
A city so cold a black
Has me feeling so alone
I am a one man wolf pack.

Brilliant poem Kyle! Mankind is so quick to make things artificial in the name of development but nothing can come close to the wonderful luminaries. I like your reference to a one man wolf pack - wolves travel in packs, a lone wolf that makes up a pack brings to mind the immense struggles that you have to deal with without a shoulder to lean on. Very well written!
