Why did the stars go?

You were there when I closed my eyes.

I didn't even say goodbye.

You promised me : 'No more lies.

No more worries. No more strife.'


And I was a horrible guest.

Even at my very best.

I didn't care. I didn't know.

I never let anything good grow.


Now it's dark. The clouds assemble.

My promises lay broken. My future bleak.

And neither Sun nor soft, white moon

Are here now when I am weak.


And I ask myself: "Why did the stars go?"
