Waste

stars blanketing the midnight silk above us,
oh what a huge place,
we turned it into such a sacred waste,
puppy eyes gaze above,
starry nights reflect our love,
what a waste of emotion,
I'd rather be alone, stranded in the ocean,
diamond rain flourishes around the world,
leaves and twigs spun around by earth,
what a waste of energy,
I'd rather die from lethargy,
laughter and joy fill the night,
hugs and kisses until first light,
what a waste of life,
I'd rather go out by knife.

A poem for all the hopelessness contained in the world. For all those who feel like the world is a waste.
