The Question Poem by Lesa MRK

Tonight the world is dark,
No stars in the sky.
The moon is a lonely shadow,
Glowing bright and high.

My eyes gaze the night in wonder,
In hope of what cannot be,
Praying for a glimpse of starlight,
This night shan't offer me.

Tonight the heavens hold no answers,
To the questions in my heart,
And the winds won't chase the fears away,
I long to make depart.

I've walked a dark, lonely road,
The path brought me to where I am,
I now must understand,
This pain in which I've began.

If I close my eyes tonight,
Shall I awake at the end of the road?
Will my heart release the pain,
Drop it's heavy load?

When I close my eyes tonight,
Do not take me back again.
Have the mercy to stop the memory,
That time shan't ever end.
