Starry Night

He was outraged

Couldn’t stand the presence of anyone around him

He ran away, unrestrained

I observed him from my window

A tall and skinny man

Staring at the fluffy billows

I saw how delicately he kneeled down

Placing his soft hands on his face, covering his existence

Then it came, the breakdown

Something inside him was tearing up his soul

He couldn’t appreciate the universe on top of him

But as for me, I was able to perceive it all as a whole:

A delightful winter night

A dark sky full of stars

Everything so shiny bright

A soundless melody created by our moon

Everything combined into a majestic extravaganza

It melted inside my mind like a spoonful of sugar

But he was still there

Hiding from the sky

He still wasn’t aware

An unknown cosmos, that no one seems to notice

Just me, with an open mind, contemplating what we have

He was down there, sobbing and hopeless

I grabbed my jacket and decided to go down there

That sorrowful man needed someone to talk to

My lungs filled with the cold winter air
