• the stars wont sleep tonight.
  • they are too busy thinking of the moon,
  • in all its pale-lit glory.
  • the stars wont sleep tonight.
  • they cant stop thinking:
  • "what good is a speck of white, dotting the galaxy like a wash of freckles over the night?"
  • now the moon, you see- the moon spills light onto the world
  • so that it thrums life endlessly
  • so that in dark, there is a path
  • the stars wont sleep tonight.
  • they are tired but they cannot sleep.
  • even if theyd like to escape now,
  • they cant because they are part of a constellation.
  • a constellation that will fall apart.
  • and the stars;
  • they are just looking for the moon.
  • but they cant find it.
you are the moon
i am the stars
and i am so insignificant in this spinning universe
but i wrote this for you.
it is shitty and insignificant,
like me,
but it is for you.
  • for you, i wont sleep.
