The Stars

I beg, turn this dark night into a sunrise.
But I know in my heart I am not owed any such thing,
The night spirits have spoken.
They have staked their claim.

The sunrise stands only to accuse
the heart so dark,
the soul born to lose
Seek not the sun but embrace the dark

One star does not shine for you
There is an entire sky full of lights.
This seems more worthy
than reaching for a star destined to die.

You may reach out to them
long after the days men try to count
I am a stranger in this world
And a stranger still when the sun burns out.
