Darkness falls
And the lights go out
The silent stars
Are all about
And the changing moon
With her ageless face
Gazes down
On the human race
A girl she sees
Lying on her bed
Fighting with herself
Inside her head
The knife in her hand
Holds a deadly glint
To the moon her thoughts
Needed no hint
She had said goodbye
To the ones who cared
But no one did
Or so she feared
'They don't need me'
She said in her mind
'They never have'
It responded in kind
Her mind made up
She followed through
On something that
Too many people do
Her blood ran out
Through the cuts on her wrists
So gone was she
That she completely missed
The love she thought lost
Coming in through the door
His mind heavy
And his heart sore
With an anguished cry
He ran to her side
But he was too late
And in his arms she died
The grief overcame him
He spotted the knife
And kissing his love
Ended his life
The moon saw it all
And with her tears came the rain
Mourning forever
The love and the pain
