me

The sky is so dark tonight
Black velvet wraps itself 'round the heavens
Draping itself among skeletons of trees
Offering shelter in its shadows
Willing to hide all imperfections
A veil of secrecy
An easy way out

Yet in the distance you shine
A single star reaching out
Piercing through the night
Shedding light onto every flaw
Yet calling out to me still
A voice of reassurance
A hopeful way out
