I sit in stillness, my windowsill bare

The weight of regret hangs heavy in the air

The world grows still, the shadows creep

Yet in the silence, my thoughts run deep

Loneliness lingers, my only friend

The ache in my heart, when will this end?

The air is heavy, the night profound

A quiet despair, my screams the only sound

My mind is shouting, this feeling won’t quell

A relentless torment I cannot dispel

Would anybody notice, would anybody care

If I disappeared into the cold night air

The hours stretch long, the silence loud

I search for solace beneath the shroud

I look up to the sky, look and see

A beautiful constellation smiling back at me

The night sky flickers, bold and bright

A beacon of inspiration, a beacon of light

With the night comes darkness, but also the stars

A glimmer of hope for hearts of scars
