title : moonless misery
( alternate title: night of the gloom )

the day of the night came,
followed by the miridical midnight flame.
entirely, the darkness surfaced,
because the moon never traced.
a moonless night, it was called.
the loneliest one of them all.

just like him, quietly he thought.
the emptiness in him felt like a drought.
close to them, but not too close.
the smiles, they were all because of the force.
when it came to choose,
he knows whom they would use.

insecurities falling deeper than
those scars the ink left.
drunk by the emotions, too heavy to heft.
sat in the dark, all alone to mourn,
too afraid to let the tears
fall in the presence of them all.
hiccups followed by gaspy breaths,
he was lost, had no expectations ahead.

it all started with a smile, a small one,
it all ended with misery,
one that seemed moonless.
after all, he was just another tenebrous night.
( his moon long gone )

he is now breathing tears of fright.
he was already drowning in his moonless misery.
— luce.

this one is about losing that one friend whom we wished would have stayed forever. it is also about that one friend who is close to everyone, but isn't special to anyone.
