Looking up at the stars tonight
For some reason they’ve lost their beauty
The comfort they usually bring me
Has gone with all the clouds
The moon that usually keeps me feeling safe
Now feels like its watching
And stopping me from being free
The trees that I know so well
Begin to change their shape
And their branches reaching out to me
Remind me of all the times I fell
The frost is becoming a part of me
Freezing my soul to the core
Their screams and shouts of laughter are so close
But still they’re so far from this cold cold floor
I want to walk away into the night
Down that path that’s leads to no where
I want to fall down that ditch
And never see their smiling faces again
Or their eyes that just look and stare
But I know I can’t
Because they’ll always be waiting for me to return
They’ll always be some reason why I can’t just walk off
And never stop only now and then to change roads
And take a different turn
I want to be on my own, with no one in my head
Telling me what is right to do
So what if I don’t live anymore
All this life is a fake anyway and all these words are untrue
So how about I just freeze away
Into the night I’ll go
But I shall not return next winter
Maybe that will remove
My hearts painful splinter.
