Some shattered, some alive

I’m here, and alone tonight

You won’t hurt me,
so come,
don’t leave me

alone with the night

With thousands of stars
that are not only distant
but something entirely different

And with all their magic,
they won’t be able to help

Not the Milky way,
Nor the Orion’s belt

They can never imagine how I felt
When I slipped, overslept,
lost the sense of self

But you might

You might be a knight
In heavy armour, unpolished
roaming through lands barren,
demolished

With some dreams shattered,
some dreams vivid,
some hopes still alive

In the pitch dark
of the desolate night,
I know an ounce of love
was able to survive

And it’s coming my way now
