As I Lay Beneath the Stars
by
Heather Nicole Luther
As I lay beneath the stars tonight,
I imagine your face,
Upon the moon,
Filled with warmth, kindness, and grace.
I can also see your lovely eyes,
So beautiful and so bright,
While they’re staring down at me,
They’re only visible to my sight.
As I lay beneath the stars tonight,
I shed the slightest tears,
Because, of now, I’m all alone,
With no one here, to hear my fears.
I feel my heart aching inside,
As it longs for only you,
Because you have left me far behind,
Thinking I wouldn’t feel this way, but I do.
As I lay beneath the stars tonight,
I let out the loudest call,
For I feel that I am slipping,
And you’re not here to catch me, before I fall.
It’s too late now,
I’ve already fell,
I got hurt,
And have no one to tell.
As I lay beneath the stars tonight,
I wonder why you are not with me,
But why you are with her,
I guess by now, I’ve come to see, our love was never meant to be.
