patience

why is it

that late at night

when the stars are out

and the moon

and feelings, the ones we 

push down our throats during the day

they come out 

and dance around us

like knives, dressed in lovely skirts

because your best friend let you down

and he broke that organ of yours

the one you trusted him with 

and now

the stars are out 

and the moon 

and feelings you've held so close you

like a mother holds her child

it's okay to cry

but one day, and that day will come

you won't be crying because of them

you'll be crying

you'll be rejoicing

you'll be happy

because life has been difficult

but it is all as it should have been

-you are right where you belong
