As the world sleeps I lie awake <br />How can I sleep when my world breaks? <br />I stand alone in this starlit night <br />My dark life needs more than this mild light <br /> <br />Oh! Moon, why don’t to me you talk? <br />Why don’t you beside me walk? <br />Oh! Stars, why are you so high? <br />Why are you so shy? <br /> <br />Why don’t you come down to me? <br />Why can’t you my companion be? <br />This loneliness through my vein creeps <br />Without a single tear my eye weeps <br /> <br />Standing I wait for the day bright <br />To come and fill my life with light <br />The sun will surely come at it’s time right <br />But will I survive this painful night?<br /><br />AMyth Kulkarni<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-starlit-night/
