The lifeless moon feels less alone.

Wish upon a dead star

My eyes closed, and with hands enfold,
I used to wish for a sun to warm my heart
But as dreams faded, those hopes scorched cold
My faith drifting, along with that shooting star

Now I find comfort in shades of night,
the lifeless moon feels less alone
Always glancing upon the battles I fight,
revealing all demons whom I own

And the silence draped around,
unfolds the scream roaring from within
A howling stripped from sound,
ends what did not begin.

This is an awesome piece of poetry!

I read this poem at 6:00 am as I awakened and it hit home so close. I'm not really one who been exposed or really enjoyed a lot of poetry but I must say, I really liked this.
