Starless Skies and Silent Cries

And in this moment, the pieces crumble away,  
Shake, shatter, and break.  
It only takes one memory for my frame to fray.
 
How weak, or, strong, to hold it together for so long.  
One moment, one thought, one picture, one song…
And, all that I’ve built, in an instant is gone?
 
How feeble and frail, how tattered this tale?
The kisses that caressed my lips have gone stale,  
Memories threaten upon every exhale.  
 
Everything that I’ve worked for, now, seems useless.
But, this is a lie, my fight is not fruitless…
But, why, in this moment, does my night sky seem moonless?
 
This is the part, where I dry the tears from my eyes…
Pick myself up off the floor, and rise.  
But, just for this moment, I want to believe the lies.
