Stardust
It starts with sobbing
A long, loud sound
Crying and moaning from
Through his door
Trials and hardships
I walk through
Night visions still haunt my dark
But I laugh
And I jump
And I’m not disturbing
Our air.
Our immortal Galaxy.
I play with stardust
But it’s hard to miss
His body among moons and stars
Limp and unmoving
I walk away,
Along my dark path.
I turn all around,
Looking. Hoping.
Why am I in this abyss?
(With him)
Wanting is all I know
It ruins my soul
All I want is to know
Past, Now,
what is to pass.
Why can’t I act normal?
Why must I try in my solitary mind?
I’m frantic now,
I’m asking,
praying,
Crying into naught but dark
Who is around?
Don’t discount my
Poor, dark soul.
I turn around and around,
And I’m shown nothing but black stars
I sink to dirt
Am I immortally alon-
A sound.
A cry from my past
I turn
Sound walks down a path,
And sits on my arm,
Warming my soul
I follow it, back my past
To find him again
His sound grows as I walk
And I look at him
It’s possibly a smooth trip for him.
Possibly I should join him.
So I cross his door
And I sit across from him
And I lay down.
And I cry.
It’s us against our world.
