night poem

this is a poem for the night
this is for those who are walking in the dark
this is a poem for when you want to collapse
but you can’t find the arms to hold you
this is a poem for the times
when success is doing the worst of things in the best of ways
and you wish you didn’t have to succeed
but you know you can’t fail
this is a poem for the night
for the girl stumbling with the tears in her eyes
this is a poem for you
there’s a pair of arms waiting at the end of the dark
there’s someone to catch you, soon you can let yourself fall
and there’s a ship waiting in the bay
that sails on dreams and flies where they blow her
and that’s where you belong, before amethyst sails and the crisp tailwind
but for now you’re in the dark
and we can only whisper hope and breathe love
so look up in the darkness
somewhere there’s your star
and it’s just starting to shine
