Starlight

No matter what I change

It always comes,

Bringing itself and all its friends,

Their blue soul a fingerprint

On the wind, murky with stars.

I turn my girlhood memories

Inside out looking

For something to cling to,

Something that,

If I look to it,

Will love me back.

Someday when the twilight knocks

On my window and parts the curtain,

Maybe I will finally open it up,

And climb out into its arms.

If no one will love me

Maybe I will be the sunset’s child

Held simply by refusal,

And whatever holds the stars.

Starlight, starlight.

If I were brave enough to drop into you

Into the pool of your shine,

I don’t think I would mind drowning.
