MUTED STARS

As if the world would suddenly go quiet

Our hearts race against the light.

We always lose; we know we will always lose

Everyday we pretend that will change

Smiles plastered and cracked

Mark the loneness we share

Fingers laced so tightly

Numbness almost seems fitting

Still we cannot deny the warmth of the sun tip-toeing on our backs

Teasing us of what could be had

I stumble on the words,

As you try to capture the moonlight

Your box is always empty;

“the moon just steals from the sun”

She takes his palms and whispers solace into the sky

As if the stars will tell of his wish

Wishes are for the innocence

That is held in the palms of children

I am sorry

Every night we express our wants

To Whom It May Concern;

They always go unheard

stop sending wishes over our heads

And send them into our ears.

Maybe then we will be happy instead of content.

Suspicions of being alone

Hatred towards sameness

Live within the small spaces between our joints

Sounds of escaping air are our only hope

Yet we fear clenched fists

And demand love, as if it were a rite

Forcing ourselves together under

Cheap bed sheets and miss guided emotions

In search for what’s missing

Creating creativity

Ask me

Ask me

Ask me

We inhale the same breath,

No one notices

No one cares
