and every night, those stars are shining.
right above your head and you're sleeping beneath them.
but do you ever notice?
if one of those lights were to shine down on you,
making you the brightest being on earth, would you even realize?

drowning in darkness, one breath will hold on.
for years, or so he'll say, until the end of time.
your eyes were clenched shut, waiting patiently for that final breath.
when instead, you should have been looking for a way out.

.he was there all along.
