Night Sky

Something’s stop being scary when you have someone go through it with you.

Night skies once scared me

I felt like I was free falling

Like there was nothing protecting me

From billions of miles of empty space

And the unknown we all learn to fear

The stars felt like holes poked in a canvas

Allowing people to look down on me

Unknown beneath their powerful stares

But you changed the night sky for me

You made me feel protected

You patched up the holes in the canvas

And saved me from my free fall

You were like the sun coming up

You put the fear at ease

And covered my eyes when you couldn’t erase it

You taught me to find the beauty in the night

You danced with me under the stars

And suddenly they were no longer harsh eyes

But beautiful lights to highlight your face

As you spun me around and back into your arms
