The night is my killer and the stars are absent

fierce beasts

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

The night is my killer and the stars around me are absent

And depression has taken over my heart with all its feelings

And the clouds appeared in their places as if they were prostrating to their Creator

Who saw the features of my face as stray shadows

He grew in his sadness and the notebooks tremble from my voice

So when will my hopes appear in my chest as if they are trembling

Warming me in my darkness and waking me up at night

I practice my curse to return as if I were one of the ferocious beasts

Oh night, why did you kill me and leave my blood to bleed?

And made me in my pain as if I drown in the clouds with my tears

As if I am lightning ignited with sadness ignited by my feelings

Oh my heart, add to me or leave me to the lights of a fleeing moon

For I have no way to gather the fragments of my brokenness so I can stand

So sadness enveloped my heart and made me perish in my worries

And life runs and inside me is a pulse that made my sorrows a reader

So the night is my killer and made my worries follow and run

And the moon became a burning light on me in the shadows of absent stars

So life, even if its qualities are great, why does it forget my joys?

Loneliness killed me while I was in my night like the stars, absent-minded

Hidden from my sight, its lights flowing on my soul

And when midnight approached, its rays shone on me

So the night is my killer and the stars around me line up with their glowing light
