Speak to me
I’ve lost my voice.
This night
is so much bigger than I
and this day
tore me apart.

I am so strong,
but tonight
can I just be weak?
Speak
while I press my face
to a starry sky
and crumble inside.

I would reach out
but I don’t know
what to reach for.
I would call out to you
but the words
are lost inside my soul.

So here I’ll stand
lost
in the beauty of a billion stars
that reach out
to light my tears.

And maybe
in this loud silence
I’ll hear your voice.

Speak…
