Night Fall
When the night fell
Billions were injured
A million lonely hearts
Crushed under debris of stars
A thousand loveless lovers
Damaged by Saturn and Mars
Casualty’s wondered
Scared and forlorn in dark
Cry’s muffled only by a blanket
Of sky
Hearts were breaking
Old wounds reopened form the impact
Though not all were injured and distressed
Couples got together
For the occasion
Exited and undressed
Feasting on the fireworks
Floating on the clouds
Bathing by the light
Of the silvery moon
Until the day broke
And all to soon
The sun rose
Given the new light on the situation
The dying recovered
Their beds
Thankful night had passed
Patched up the wounds
And silently dreaded
Time moving to fast
Because to the lonely and alone
Every night
Is like the sky falling in
Stars are great company only if you have someone
To catch them with
And the moon just another reminder
That night has come
And again out-stretched on my bed
There is far to much room for one.
