Tonight

Tonight I will dream

Sad words.

And tonight I will stare

At my bare ceiling

And watch the smooth moonlight

Creep through my window

To cast shadows on

My walls.

These shadows,

Black and ominous

Are only light that fought

To kiss the earth.

I stare at these shadows

Empty eyed

And I feel nothing

But the yearning of my soul for

Something more.

So on go the lights.

I long to be wrapped in paper.

Enraptured by letters on a page.

I will find comfort

In beautiful people who are not seen.

They will inspire me

They will laugh and cry with me.

They will die inside with me.

They will come to life with me.

Tonight I will read

The saddest thoughts

And tonight I will paint my soul

In ink

To cover the emptiness

In me.
