A/N: This one isn't a rant about humanity, it's actually a narrative I wrote quite a while ago (Edited over time, of course. Me being happy with my work over a period of time longer than 12 hours? What a ridiculous notion. Anyone who knows me will understand this)


The moon was an angel falling from the skies

The girl was a dying gleam of hope

As the stars sang to her broken heart

To soothe the shards of lies.


The darkness hid her flowing tears

The wind muted her sobs

No one should hear that sound of harm

The sound that filled her ears.


Love had been her light

Her lantern in the dark

But his cold words extinguished the flame

And left her to the night.


As she knelt there on the starlit hill

Her sorrow began to fade

Then the falling angel came down to her

And her weeping was suddenly still.


Her heart was now at peace

Her mind was now at rest

Darkness no longer crushed her soul;

The singing of stars had ceased.


Yes, she is dead.
