Star, my only star,
in the poverty of the night, alone,
for me, alone, you shine,
in loneliness you shine;
But, for me, star
that never will stop from lighting,
a too short time is granted you,
you lavish me a light
that in me does nothing but
sharpen my despair.

Comments1Wow, this hit me right in feels. "Star, my only star, in the poverty of the night, alone"... so pure. Makes you think about loneliness in a hole new way. yet a bit sad, that lavish light only sharpens despair. Deep stuff!
