A haze falls over the evening sky
The sunset melts into a seemingly infinite darkness
I am alone

The moons craters trace my body
Lying empty under dozens of stars
Shining without any recognition

They sing to me
Glowing, twirling, into the night sky
Dozens burning out amongst the time of moonlight

Star light
Star bright
The first star I see tonight
I wish I may
Melt away
From every thought that is endlessly haunting, taunting and torturing me

I feel the earth spinning
Beneath trembling feet
The stars ignite and burn out
Just for me

&quot;pretty words are worth being cynical over, for they are just baits to be caught in the moment.&quot; -mavi<br /> <br /> &quot;What exactly would change if I cried, wanted revenge, was consumed by hatred, or went insane with rage?&quot; -Yoshino <br /> <br /> &quot;I am your shadow. Worry not for if your light is dim, I will become darker so that you can become more defined.&ldquo; -mavi<br /> <br /> &quot;We create beautiful things to mask what we destroyed in order to create such.&rdquo; -mavi

The beginning was great... but then... the second and third stanza contradicted.... then I lost interest.
