4:00 A.M. Night Skys

Stars floating in your eyes,

Nearly drifting off in a field of flowers

I could stay here for hours,

praying it’ll never end

Love to my heart, it sends

Watching the clouds drift south

 I can’t help but think about,

A time when I was fine

I was four, my dad was kind.

Though soon the sun will rise

Putting the stars in disguise,

Masking the beauty of the dark

The birds chirp, the dogs bark

For hours I have to wait

To see the change from night to day,

To watch the moon rise

To see stars splatter across the skys

Though light drifts unto the waters

Hot water pouring over cold glass, shattering the dark

My anxiety gathers.
