Wings

Sometimes

when i wake up

in the middle of the night

i like to look out the window

and see the stars

who are there no matter what

they are there for me

when blood is streaming down the blade

that i use to cut all my feelings away

and they are there

when it is 1:30 a.m. and i am sitting on the floor

drowning in my own tears

and they understand

that when i say i'm tired, or fine,

what i really mean is

help me i'm dying

the stars know

what is going on

the stars know

what is happening

i want to touch the stars

jump out the window

and fly up to them

they will welcome me

comfort me

and i will be safe

i will be safe
