She needed the moon and stars to light up her nights
She never slept
           never woke
              never went under
Her dreams were good
                  her nightmares were frequent
the dark kept her enclosed
it faked a warmth
                   but really she was freezing
the hottest fire burns blue
And when she opened her eyes
                    (after she had stopped screaming)
she looked out her window
                     she saw the big ball of light in the dark sky
and the stars floating around it
She took a breath
                 and then another
She stared into the sky
it wasn't dark, not anymore, not with that bright glow
it was something she could hold on to
So when the nightmares came
When she needed something
anything
to calm her
catch her
watch her
She looked outside, into the beautiful
night and
          stared at the
                     moon
                            and
                                   stars
