"Eternal Lamentations: A Bittersweet Serenade to the Stars"

"An Ode to the Melancholic Beauty and Distant Sorrow of the Celestial Realm"

By Yousuf KKPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

In the vast expanse of the midnight sky,

Where darkness cloaks the world, I lie.

Gazing upward, lost in deep contemplation,

I seek solace in the distant constellation.

Oh, stars that shimmer, so far away,

A celestial ballet in shades of gray.

Each twinkle a reminder of life's fleeting grace,

Yet carrying a sadness I cannot erase.

For you, oh stars, are distant and cold,

Mere remnants of stories, untold.

You hold the secrets of forgotten dreams,

And the echoes of love's silent screams.

Your brilliance mocks my earthly plight,

A constant reminder of endless night.

While I stumble through a world so vast,

You burn bright, too distant to grasp.

Oh, how I envy your ethereal glow,

As I wander through this realm of woe.

Your distant light, a symbol of hope,

Yet leaves my heart hanging from a frayed rope.

You witness the tears that fall unseen,

The shattered hearts that have never been seen.

You witness the battles fought in vain,

And the scars etched upon a soul's terrain.

So, shine on, stars, in your majestic array,

Though your beauty brings sorrow, night and day.

For in your twinkling, I find a reflection,

Of the melancholy that dwells within my affection.

In your distant embrace, I find a balm,

A sanctuary where my sorrows find calm.

So, I'll keep searching the night sky above,

And find solace in your melancholic love.
