Night

The moon lost her pull

and the stars lost their shine.

Once, I was full

and the planets were in line,

but I'm floating off course,

now falling toward nothing.

I'm bloody and hoarse

from the silence, so crushing.

I asked for an answer,

begged for direction.

I once was your anchor,

your heartbeat, connection.

I searched for your light

through vacant vastness.

But your eternal night

has led me to madness.
