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
