Gentle tears slip down an untouched cheek.
They fall in silence,
to not disturb the broken soul
that sleeps within.

She bows her head.
The surrounding universe with its motions
encircles in sweeping rapture.

Stars gaze.

Through watered feeling she turns
away from this vision imagined.

Lonely echoes pervade through her hollow reality.
Her maimed heart beats in hesitation,
a heart unfilled,

A still heart.

Stay in my gaze.
It was once only a glance in time
when the sky would send us bending into repose
for each destined embrace.
I closed your unknowing eyes in my vacant drawer
when the clock ceased to rest in dark awakening.
Now my mouth glows on fire,
each careful flame blowing whispered tears,
the quenching sorrow that is born from silent lips.
I kneel to the sky in worshipful pleads of hope:
I will not fall on unburdened chin; I will not be unheard.
And the film of celestial mist there enraptures
until each expression has again been met,
a satisfying lesson for your worried brow.
And there I stand among your thoughts in mournful hesitation.
I will rest alone.

"And I hang like a star- fucking glow in the dark- for all those starving eyes to see,
like the ones we’ve wished on."

"The desperate are water. They will run down forever, and soak into silence to just end up together in some dark and distant place."

"For a sunrise or a sunset, you're either coming or you just left
But you're always on the way
Towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet
They are really just the same
To the sunrise or the sunset, the master and his servant
Have exactly the same fate
It’s a sunrise and a sunset, from a cradle to a casket
There is no way to escape
The sunrise or the sunset, hold your sadness like a puppet
Keep putting on the play
But everything you do is leading to the point
Where you just won’t know what to do
And the moment that you're laughing
There is someone there who will be laughing louder than you
So it’s true, the trick is complete
You've become everything you said you never would be
You’re a fool, you're a fool
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
The sunrise and the sun sets
Sunrise, sunset, the sunrise, the sun sets
The sunrise, the sun sets
Sunrise, sunset, go home to your apartment
Put the cassette in the tape deck
and let that fever play"
~Bright Eyes, "Sunrise, Sunset"

"Day after day alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin
is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Well on the way, his head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
is talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Oh, round, round, round, round, round
And nobody seems to like him
they can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Oh, round, round, round, round, round
And he never listen to them
He knows that they're the fools
But they don't like him
The fool on the hill
sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
Oh, round, round, round, round, round
oh" -The Beatles, "The Fool On the Hill"

"And I never thought this life was possible
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for
The end of paralysis, I was a statuette
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
And when I press the keys, it all gets reversed
The sound of loneliness makes me happier."
-Bright Eyes, "Poison Oak"
