Stars
This dark night seems darker then most
But this night is no different than any other
The sun is a million miles away
As is the incredible pain for once
But the ache deep inside still remains
For the night is cold, beyond freezing cold
No stars are in the sky tonight though
And that's one positive thing about this night
For the stars are glimmers of hope
Hope that the sun's bright light will return soon
But hope is just a futile thing
It's hope that drives you crazy, not loneliness
The moon shines bright though
But for some reason it's different
It's closer then any star could ever be
It's more tangible and close
Yet it seems so far away at times
Even now in it's fullness it seems empty
You know not really weather the stars are still there
For even though they glow, no one has been to one
The moon on the other hand has been visited many times
And because of that there is no dream left to it
No mystery, no absurd intrigue still remains
You know you could have the moon if you wanted
But the stars are what you really desire
Many years away they are even at the speed of light
But if you knew you could have them
Then you would risk all you had for just one
You just can not conceive reaching them any way you know of
But you keep searching
Even if you don't reach them in the near future
You'll keep trying and searching with what you have and know
And maybe, just maybe, some day your dreams will come true
But until then I hold you closer trying to keep warm
And I look into your eyes and it's there I see the stars now
