"Dark, Without Stars"
The stars are bright tonight
And they’ve always seemed pretty
(To me, at least)
So I don’t understand
(Yet I love the time)
When the lights go out
And your jaded words are only about
Your world;
“Dark, without stars”
Tonight snow replaces the stars
The ones you never loved the way I do
Nights like this are the kind
Where you paint worlds with nothing
But words
And I can really see it how,
The stars and snow are gone now:
“Dark, without stars”
So we can sit here
And I’ll listen to you talk about your world which
(I know)
Is only a fantasy.
I don’t love the stars the way I used to.
It’s impossible for us to have a
“Dark, without stars”
If you’re here
For stars don’t love back
And your words brighten me
And your eyes shine brighter than any star I know.
