Aria to the Night

Hello my stranger
My not-stranger
It’s easy to see your pain and scars
As you bask in moonlight
And hide in the dark
I don’t see purple
You are the color of dark chocolate
And ebony
Or the dazzling night sky
I cannot read the shapes of your stars
I don’t know your story
But I can feel it
Can you feel mine too?
You who think I’m proud
You who think I’m intelligent
You don’t know
Behind my smiles and bright eyes
The depth of my darkness
