Stardust

The starlight dots your eyes

In nights just so divine

So when you said “You’re mine”

I’d thank you if I were so wise

The darkness is your cloak, I think

For within it, you may shine

And say, dear love, you’re fine

But with each word, the you I love may shrink

Bear with me your sorrow love

Your cross to bear is so, too, mine

So I beg you, don’t give that line

Beloved, I know you are not fine

When I hold you, love you weep

Your sobs are sickly sweet

So I hold you when you’re weak

And help you to your feet.
