Compose me a song <br />I'll never hear; <br />And I'll write you a letter <br />You'll never read, <br />Words built up in me <br />Before we met <br />Legos now scattered <br />In a sandbox <br />Where no one plays; <br />See the silence thick <br />From the echoes <br />Yet to be heard <br />Lying under the shallow grains <br />Waiting to be unearthed, <br />You pull me <br />From the shadows <br />I hide behind, <br />Glimmer in my eyes <br />Catching your reflection, <br />The only light I've ever known <br />Halo on your head bright <br />But turn the off the stars and find <br />It's only the moon's light cast <br />Making you appear angelic <br />A savior to my soul lit <br />By hopes and dreams <br />I cannot reach without you, <br />I retreat into the dark <br />Seeking another light <br />I'll never find again..<br /><br />Nestor David Armas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/turn-off-the-stars/
