I Want To Remember The Sound Of Hope

In such a world as this, the sky knows my name
She heard me throw a wish in the well
And has asked the moon to peek in on me
Everytime a star falls
I clutch my unwound heart and like a spool, smile it all intact
I am a dyad with the stars; hollow little things that glow
Not the sky, because she cries
Unabashed and avenging
My lips lock around my fist on days I rain
Because I want to remember the sound of the coin as it fell
The sound before it hit the bottom of the well and I shattered
Into a million tiny stars
