16. Fading

231 39 7
                                    

they smile at the stars,

and gasp at the ones that fall.

so beam at my tears,

but don't be shocked when i crawl.


i was here all along,

a galaxy slowly fading out.

the night was so pure,

you never heard my begging shouts.


so take my soul,

watch in awe as it streaks the sky,

just remember this night,

if you ever feel the need to ask why.
