Starlight

Maybe this is how it should be
Broken hearts held together by memories
Clocks that tick, make me sick
And tell me, everything will be okay.

Am I losing faith too soon?
Should I not cry under the swollen moon?
I can fake being okay, to make you stay
If only I could make you stay.

Let life play its cards and win
The starlight will let us in
I look at you and the world stays still
Breathing softly, drifting away.

This war is not mine to fight
And these lies are not mine to tell
But these cracks get deeper in my shell
A construct to hide me well.

Your tears shall cleanse me
Your words will change me
Starlight, do not dim or fade
I will not bleed a darker shade.

Look at me and make my world go still
Fill me softly, help me heal.
