Loss

Moonlight on a frosty night
Glinting like shards of glass
On the dark fields
The wind cuts like a dagger
And rises into the sky
A billion little shiny pinpricks
Twinkle in the black void
Vying with the moon beams
To impress

I want to forget
To start afresh
To leave behind
The ache of today

But each sharp edge
Each moonbeam
Opens my wounds again
And in the silence of the night
Every star echoes my silent cries.
