The night creeped into her skin
Burrowing until it hit bone
Comfort filled her veins
The stars sparkled
The constellations danced
Wishing upon a star
Her eyes tightly closed
Hoped for love
Wrapped like a present
With a big bow on top
The kind of love that fills
Your veins
Creating a feeling of euphoria
The kind of love that seeps
Into the darkest crevices of her mind
Making it known she is loved
The kind of love that pours
Like rain
Fast and powerful
She opens her eyes
To find a boy
Standing down by the lake
"Go to him" the stars' cry
"Dance with him" the constellations sing
Like a ghost
He vanishes into the darkness
That is the first time
She has ever hated the night
For it did not
Love her back the way
She loved it
