I was staring at the sky
Sitting under a tree
Hidden by its boughs
In the dead of night
Thinking no one could see
The tears in my eyes
The beats of my heart
Racing up and down
With my choking thoughts
Thinking no one could see
How would I know
The moon was observing
The stars were wondering
Ways to appease me, while I
Thinking no one could see me
The pain put me to sleep
The cold curled me in weep
Eyes shut , I shut off world
For dreams to take care of me
Thinking no one could see me
Woke up with stars in my eyes
Love wrapped around me
A quilt of green soft leaves
My face now a lovely moon
Loved by those who could see me
