Clearing The Skies

(Originally written on December 5th, 2003)

Extinguish the stars tonight,
They're not needed in this sky of unrest,
Where panic prevails, and failure sails,
Across this vast, poisoned ocean.

Let the sun burn itself out,
So that i can lay myself to sleep,
To dream of dying, the fears multiplying,
Into unimaginable realms of fright.

Dry these tears that fall for you,
Your ever absent embrace,
I can't continue, my heart found in you,
To show me the way to the end.

I will die here.
The stars will mourn for me.
For they hear my wishes.

They bind them together,
To be broken forever.

Floating in this starless, sun-starved sky.
