starry nights

By: david d. dong

the night is long, i wonder why,
sitting here looking,
at the brightly lit sky.

the moon is high,
my heart is low,
please give me a reason to let go.

oh starry night,
please take me away, away from here,
before night passes to day.

looking at you with tearful eyes,
reminiscing of days,
that quickly pass by.

how can you stay so calm?
when i have just lost a dear friend,
gliding along your path, no beginning, no end.

clouds have come between us,
can you tell me why?
am i too shameful to even look upon the sky?

oh mr. cloud please shed your tears,
wash away the sorrow,
and subtract the years.

another night has gone by,
oh what should i do?
can't stop thinking about a love once true.

day turns to night, night turns to day,
happiness turns to pain,
that doesn't seem to go away.

another night, till tomorrow we meet,
once again i will share,
a heart that is incomplete.
