Tonight when I sleep
The stars bow their heads in pain
The clouds hang heavily
The birds hide in their nests
Heads tucked safely inside their warm wings
Tonight in my dreams
You stare at me with an empty gaze
Then turn, and never return again
And I am speechless
Till you're a dot in the distance
A blob in the dark
Far from me
Tonight when I awaken shivering
My pillow is wet
And on my cheeks
Two streams of tears glisten
From the moonlight spilling through the window
