Draw the shades closed;
don't let any more light
enter this darkened soul.
I need to accept that
I will always feel
like this-
eyelids heavy
from disappointment
and rejection.
They shut like
the window curtains
in this dim room.
They need rest
that doesn't come
and hope that doesn't
fill this place.
Reading this, my heart goes
Reading this, my heart goes out to you, and I hope the dimness is chased away by sunlight through the day and starlight through the night.
Starward
