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…
