i can finally feel whole again

the red sun evanescences

as the moon emerges

into the deep, deep night sky

sending shivers all around

i try and count the stars,

but there weren't that many

i try letting my thoughts run wild,

but i'm scared i wont ever get them back

so i lay there in solitude

eyes losing focus,

barely breathing,

merely just existing

i find my peace in this,

this unsettling loneliness,

this deafening silence,

this blazing darkness

i can finally feel whole again
