When I go to sleep at night,

And the stars shine brightly,

My heart feels heavy,

An undenying weight rests on my shoulders,

Guilt is but a plus,

And while the stars conjoin with others,

To form the constellations I loved so much,

I look up to the night sky,

And I speak of all my troubles,

Each filled with agony and guilt,

And the stars listen,

And the moon nods,

I feel at ease,

If only I knew,

If only I realized,

All I ever needed,

All I ever wanted,

Was to be heard,

Even if no one meant it,

I needed someone to listen,

And lie to me,

Telling me it will all be alright.
