The Moon And Stars

I look into the night sky;

Happiness

But where is my happiness?

Locked in the fortress

With the rest of us

Shall we confess

His eyes will be like pools of liquid

His body warm and full of life

His laugh will be alive with his soul and he’ll be

Dark and beautiful like an angel.

His tattoos will decorate his skin


And the roses he picks for me won’t have thorns

And they wont draw blood

They’ll just be the same color

And it’ll remind me of him because blood is beautiful.


And he’ll drive me home and play my favorite so...
