The sky is dark by Lola

The sky is dark,

And I stand alone on the verge of night,

Watching the stars twinkle from afar

Lighting my withered heart as best they can,

Offering comfort to this hopeless vessel.

I stand, a shadow in the night,

My back against a stone-cold rock,

My heart mirrors the darkness of the day.

I remain,

Decaying slowly into the soil beneath.

The stars flutter around me,

Trying to brighten my weary life.

The moon gazes softly,

Offering solace in her tender glow.

The wind brushes against my skin,

Whispering secrets of comfort to my ears.

The earth reaches out in her quiet way,

Sending soothing scents to calm my soul.
