The Room at Night

lilmoonxx

The posters are starting to peel at the corners,

but I’m not ready to take them down yet.

The moonlight hits the group photo on the wall

and for a second, the room doesn't feel so quiet.

It’s just paper and ink, I know,

but it’s the only thing that stays the same

when everything else is changing.
