neon tears

 
the night wept neon tears
on the starlit waters
it dazzled me with its grief
matching my own sorrow

mesmerizing in its display
so boldly owning its pain
while I covered mine
with smiling eyes that lie
hiding it so deep
my stomach ached with misery

the treacherous feelings thought to mutiny
and overthrow me as captain
flying their own flag of melancholy
riding the seas of despair proudly

while the night cried great neon tears
lighting the way to safe shores
where I could cry openly
