Midnight

In the sky, there's is more than just the stars, 
All along the horizon are marks and scars.

The scars that create memories, like the ones dancing in our heads, 
Forgive them for they are not sugarplums, 
And inside you most feel dead

Hidden in the atmosphere, lies secrets and regret,
Holding onto stars and moons, like the words we never said

There's a chilling feeling you get, when looking at the sky,
The night time is a mysterious time, a time for pain and sorrow,
And since they say 'the night's still young' lets not think about tomorrow. 

And hopefully there's a reason, why the stars shine so bright,
Illuminating all the darkest spots that we never see in life

But tonight is still, the hills and cliffs are stark,
I used to play all day until I realized what monsters were in the dark

The clouds are still, the motions are intense, 
Yet I still create a sense of hope, 
That these darker feelings will commence

This is so good. The poem could be opening for a scary tale breaking down each part to a small tale.
"The scars that create memories, like the ones dancing in our heads,

The above lines. So damn good. You are a amazing writer. Your words hard, cold and direct. Making the reader think and ponder. Thank you Elena for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Honestly brought me to tears, your comment. It makes me think twice about breaking out of my comfort zones and embracing what speaks to me. Thank you so much for all of your support.
