Light up the skies

I hear the crackles
From lightning bolts tickling dry leaves
Sparks and flames
Dancing in the moonlight
Casting faint light

In this cursed twilight
This sun wishes me goodnight
I wish it wouldn't
Be this way

All of the life that's left in me
Brings me to an unknown place
Where with eyes wide shut
I sing a song with my lips
A duet with the silence of ghosts

Flickering lights coming
From the fireflies
An assuaging
Better than howls and cries
Of a hundred nymphs

I feel dirty and alone
Zig-zagging the dust floats
Like a bubble tossed in the sea
My life flits around
Like a fluttering butterfly
Or a rose waiting to say goodbye

The scars on my knees
Match the damage
Hidden on my heart
Wearing it on my sleeve
I am exposed

Tears stream down my cheek
Because there's nobody here
With me to celebrate
The new year.
