I hate being the end of your day, every single day 

I want to be your beginning for once

I should disappear into the black and let the moon light your way instead

So you’ll understand just how lost you really are, when the stars of my eyes aren’t there to help you drift off to sleep 

You’ll have to lay in the certainty of your own company and you’ll miss me 

I know you will

Because what’s certain for you is the emptiness that is your own bed

Your own walls

Your own woes and habits 

I love being the solace that promises comfort and familiarity 

But often I feel you forget I hold back flames for your safety

I want more

I want to set this room on fire and leave a blaze behind me on adventures with roads that only we can pave 

Maybe you’ll douse those flames along the way, but you’d be with me nonetheless 

Or maybe you’ll burn, and the fire will spread

As you get lost in the ashes and follow me home in a gust of wind 

Somewhere in the dark night as I power on and follow the moon in all her glory 

Because after all, I was following her will all along

And you were never with me 

I just really, really wish that you were
