To Stare Up

Lonely, desperate, despaired

I stare up at you

Orphan to a forbidden cause

I look to the face of the moon

You are the only one to smile back

From the darkness in the sky

To the pits I was abandoned

Until you brought light to my life

Never leaving me lonely

Following me to where I need to be

Always up there smiling

You let my soul and self be free

Don’t Fret

Don’t fret

the rivulet

of not so kind words.

Do forget

the onset

of all needed unheard.

Don’t cry,

let tears run dry,

so you can finally let be.

Do try

to live not die,

so you can finally be free.
