Shattered Like Starlight
Sometimes, I am myself.
when the world is sleeping,
And I am alone.
I look up at my only friend in the world,
and I smile,
even as the tears start falling.
Guilt,
Loss,
Love,
Until I am blissfully empty.
I put on the perfect face,
a mask for every occasion,
Smiling, Laughing, Joking,
while Inside,
tears are pouring down my face.
My one skill,
one I never wanted to have,
to cry while smiling.
Smiling at my friend, the moon,
who's always with me,
who won't leave me when I cry,
Her soft light trying, forlornly,
to make me hope for better,
while inside,
I am shattering.
A crystal star, floating in an empty void,
little cracks,
invisible from without,
until eventually,
I will break,
and All the world will fall away.
